which weapon?

[Raldo]

So... um... Is Ifrit Weapon better or worse than the Maelstrom weapons? Mog/Garuda weapons?

As a general all-DoW-classes rule, it's

Garuda > Lieutenant Weapon > Moogle/Ifrit

Of course, this is not taking any of their additional stats into account, so your mileage may vary.

Anyone with a more math oriented braincase can feel free to trump this claim. I won't get butthurt. To be entirely honest, I was just comparing the DPS number listed on the weapons.
