I've heard that IRAs offer a better protection during bankruptcy but i can't find any information about it.

According to this article, it seems like 401(k)s have unlimited protection, while IRA's have up to $1m in protection.

It seems like it's kind of complicated. If you are trying to protect more than $1,000,000 in retirement assets during a personal bankrupcy, you can probably afford to have a good lawyer give you advice.
