Translation to English:
- Garuda does less damage than Ifrit over time. So unless you're low on MP, Ifrit is your best choice. Also, [incoherent rambling].

With that cleared up; I prefer Garuda on most AOE-around-the-boss-fights because my Ifrits do seem to die more often. There's a delay when you call him to get him out of an AOE, it seems, so I feel like I'm pressing buttons for him for nothing. If I'm resummoning him occasionally, that's a bigger drop over time than just having 'Ruda by my side.
