Where they're placed, the fixed cameras are better IMO (if it's a choice between the two). We're talking about long highways where sitting near or on the speed limit, focusing on making sure your average speed over a determined distance is less than the posted limit is a lot more dangerous (and mind-numbing) than slowing down for 1 camera.
Recently did a trip out to Bathurst and I'm glad there was roadworks between the two average speed cameras which meant that there was no way you could break the average posted limit. I could travel at a comfortable speed at around 100kph instead of applying brakes on a downhill section of a two lane highway so I don't exceed the average speed.
