Ifrit: 330/300
Garuda: 350/310
Gae Bolg: 380/325

Edit: Although, it is all probably changing in two months, so what I stick by is use primal weapons, and pump attack power. My friend who originally told me about Ifrit caps being lower outDPS' uses Ifrit's because of the caps, and is one of the top DPSers I know.

Personally, I get top3 in miser, and and #1 more often than not, with PUGs and statics alike. Using Ifrit's. I switched to Serpent Sergeant for a little while, and it just didn't seem as good *shrug*.
Pretty sure test from Kaeko and Seiken stated 350 str/310 pie caps were for Ifrit weapon... so Garuda's caps are higher
