The question is: which is better in a mono-black control deck Cranial Extraction or Extirpate?

Perfect if you want to get rid of an annoying Annihilator card.

Hey, you're playing a self-mill deck?
I CALL UPON... LABORATORY MANIAC!

Oh, is that a Storm deck?
I DECREE THAT THERE WILL BE NO GRAPESHOTS PLAYED FOR THE DURATION OF THIS DUEL!

You think you're clever with your persist deck?
MELIRA, SHOW YOURSELF!

You tried to make a deck in Avacyn Restored?
THERE SHALL BE NO MORE MISTHOLLOW GRIFFINS ANYMORE!...

Wait a sec...

Well Extirpate is definitely strong in that it costs 3 less to cast, but it can only target the gy, so it should be used when you're making your opponent(s) discard, otherwise the Extraction is better.
Don't overlook Meddling Mage as an alternative though. Although the mage is susceptible to destruction unlike Extirpate and Cranial Extraction, it works in White or Blue Control and will give the opponent 4 more dead draws, unlike Extirpate and Cranial Extraction, which thin them out of the deck.

One of the most iritiating/cruel spells in whole MTG.
