SAM wins out, but DRG is definitely second best.
Not even close.

You aren't accounting for the fact that DRG isn't sustainable as you aren't able to refresh your core mechanic even if you have copious amounts of it.

MNK aoe will always be high than DRG due to elixir field being broken AF and now with riddle of fire memes it is incredibly powerful.
NIN now has hellfrog and ten - chi - jin which makes its aoe much better alongside katon and doton.
DRG has quite good aoe IF you are in LotD but otherwise it is pretty flat, not to mention its coverage is shit due to it all being lines.
