Backconnect just means the IP your proxy will use to connect to the internet is not the same as the IP you use to connect to the proxy. A residential proxy is any proxy created using residential IPs.

If the backconnect proxy is a datacenter one, then yes, a single residential proxy can be better quality-wise. But because by ip address type backconnect proxies can be datacenter, residential, mobile or even the combination of these, it cannot be stated that residential proxies are better than backconnect proxies.
Between a single residential proxy and a backconnect residential proxy there shouldn't be any difference from the ip address type point of view, they're different in management. As it was explained above, unlike regular proxies where you need to send your requests through different proxies manually, with backconnect proxies you need to send all your requests through one proxy network only. Which then assigns a working IP address for you. It's a pool of proxies practically.

To quote:
A backconnect proxy is a gateway address that gives you access to a pool of proxy IPs. Instead of receiving a list of IPs directly, you rather connect to a proxy server and it fetches them for you.
A residential proxy is a server that uses an IP address borrowed from a residential user.
