If we're talking about Kickboxing vs Muay Thai it's hard to say which is better because you have to consider the rules under which they are fighting, take K-1 for example, a full rules Muay Thai fighter is limited cause he can't elbow, clinch etc whereas the Dutch style kickboxer isn't because the techniques he trained are the ones allowed.
However, I think you'll see that a full rules Muay Thai striker can adapt to a k-1 ruleset easier than a dutch style kickboxer can to being thrown into a FR MT fight with big elbows being thrown at him and the killer of most styles which aren't familiar with it, the clinch.
The question was which style is more effective, so I guess it comes down to the context, if we mean Muay Thai, mma, street fight etc, MT is probably the most effective fight, simply because they have experience using techniques which they will now be allowed to use. Thats not saying a kickboxer won't be able to clinch, elbow etc himself, but I think you'll find the majority of the time the MT fighter will have the advantage in those areas.
In a K-1 style kickboxing match it's a toss up, neither is really better because Muay Thai strikers just hold back from using elbows and clinching which isn't too big a deal, although if you are into kickboxing/Muay Thai you've probably heard the old classic " if it were a MT fight (insert name) wouldn't have a chance against (insert name)"

I don't think thats an accurate statement because it's just naming Dutch kickboxers who are successful, not straight up Dutch style kickboxers. And if we were to look at their styles I think we'll see a considerable amount of cross training.
