Some say ifrit. Some say Moogle. Some say Lt Axe. Some say Garuda.

Well, if it's argued that the storm polearm is superior to Garuda's, that's good news since I am in maelstrom. What about it makes it arguably better?
Lt has both ATK and ACC. If you're at stat cap, ATK > stat, and Lt is not much lower than Garuda in term of DPS so both DPS WS bonus and stat cap is only marginally lower. Garuda may have Wind damage but Wind dmg proc is usually very low, and Lt almost always have higher ATK so AA works out a bit higher. That's generally the main argument.
