Are Dextro any better than say Lift fast acting glucose chews when at risk of a Hypo?

We can all respond differently, so it would probably be worth treating a few hypos with one, and then a few hypos with the other and seeing if you notice any difference between the two for you personally.

For myself, something liquid like juice or soft drink tends to act fastest, but most of the time I use jelly beans as those are sufficient. I have used Dextro in the past, but jelly beans tend to be much cheaper for much the same BG rise response so I stick with those. I'm not familiar with Lift chews.
