It's probably (IMO is) better to spend additional money on Infrastructure. Lots of the obvious stuff, but even things that seem like a stretch. Is healthcare infrastructure? Is childcare? How about work benefits management (days off, stock options, etc), pretty much HR, as a centralized national entity? (Not the funding of those benefits, companies would pay their costs into the program and then not need to worry about it anymore.)
The economically desirable things that UBI or any other handout are spent on, should fall into two categories. Things the government pays for itself because it's going to be the only buyer or a major buyer. Things the government has limited debit card systems for (E.G. food stamps) because there's already a market and they won't be a major buyer.
