There are many factors to consider here, ranging from the heat of the fire (which would determine how long you'd suffer until death), to how quickly said fire would burn your nerve endings, thus eliminating any further pain. I'd say that, on average, being buried alive would be a more gruesome faith. Both are horrible, though.
