Overall they both stack up well, there might be some situation where one is better over the other (I haven't done all the coils so can't say for sure), and even then having both in one party when applicable works out well.

PLDs are a little more boring in comparison since they only have one combo, but it works fine. Stance changes are a little more involved since you have both Sword Oath (for DPS) and Shield Oath (for tanking). It also has the almighty Provoke, a must have for even your WAR (If you didn't get it yet).

This all said, if you aren't going to be doing end game, the differences are pretty much just appearance.
