Which one's better? x:

I suggest staying with the Ironworks one for now, they are close enough so as to not matter for now. If you like the look of the Rainbow shirt more though go with that.

So long as its a within a couple levels of your current level its pretty much fine, its when you hit level cap that it truly starts to matter (for the record, at that point I believe Crit defeats Det in what you would want when they are this close.)

While leveling they should get replaced so quick by higher level gear that you don't need to worry about it much. Save that for endgame.

Not only does the ironworks have superior main stats, it is upgradeable to iL130.

Augmented Ironworks Corselet of Scouting UNIQUEUNTRADABLE
Requires ROG, NIN Level 50

Dexterity +50
Vitality +59
Accuracy +33
Determination +34

When leveling my Dragoon, I just stayed with iLevel 130 Ironworks gear until I got to 60. That extra gear just becomes clutter and the stats are just so close that it never mattered.

The ironworks piece is better and easily upgradeable. It will be relevant until level 54 if you upgrade it with carbontwine

If you can upgrade it go for the ironwork
If you plan for materia go for the crafted one which is convertible

You made things unnecessarily hard for yourself and your party by doing that though. I assume you at least replaced your ironworks gear with dungeon dropped items when they became available to you?

I second that, ironwork (130 so repaired) is only useful until 55
After that you're lacking in EVERY single stat
Vitality, strengh and sub stat
Either dungeon 55 or crafted 56 will always be better
Especially for the weapon.
