Caeda or Elincia

I'm trying to decide if I should shove a bunch of orbs into the new banner for Elincia, but Caeda seems really viable now because of with sword. I'm trying to decide on a red unit for my flier emblem team.
Cordelia: Brave Lance / DB 3 / Hit and Run / Fortify Fliers / Reposition / Moonbow
Cherche: Brave Axe / DB 3 / Hit and Run / Hone Fliers / Reposition / Moonbow
NY! Azura: Hagoita / TA 3 / WoM / Hone Fliers / Sing / Moonbow
So my question is should I go for Elincia or for Caeda? Also, recommended builds would be appreciated.
EDIT: not sure why I put Moonbow for all three, only Azura has Moonbow. Cherche has bonfire and Cordelia has Luna. Sorry for the confusion.

I have both elincia and caeda, and i like caeda more now. Shes MUCH easier to merge, and wing sword, imo, is better then amiti. The only problem with caeda is her low attack, but if you have a atk+, its not too big of an issue.

That's what in trying to decide for a Caeda build, too. +spd gets her to 40, but only 25 atk. +atk is a super boon, so she gets to 29. However, the eff upgrade for wing sword is flashing blade, which rewards speed. Obviously, both problems can be circumvented in a flying team, which is the only time you'd really ever want to play Caeda anyway, but it's a problem nonetheless.

I just want to point out on your brave weapon sets that Luna is generally better than moonbow, because moonbow won't activate on the first initiation unless you're using quickened pulse. So the brave weapon will hit twice, and then activate on the second initiation. you might as well run Luna, which will also activate on the second initiation, for more damage. And, if your second initiation happens to KO the opponent before the second hit can land, you have a special charged and still ready to use

I have an Elincia and she is truly a monster, in every team. She is capable of killing almost all the units in the game (she is +Spd -Hp), I feel like both fill a very different role other than being red fliers with Caeda more specialized and using Glaciates or Iceberg and Elincia being a extremly player phase oriented unit.

Tbh I prefer Elincia by far but Caeda its easier, if you have a good IV's Caeda go for her.
