DC Zephiel or BK?

I am building an armor team with Tana for support/movement. I have Zephiel with DC, Wary Fighter 3, and Goad Armor. I finally got BK leveled up to 40, I gave up a Draug I had sitting in my roster for Ward Armor, other than that, I lack many units to give BK much beyond his base set. Until he has other skills, should I stick with Zephiel, or should I switch over to BK anyways?

My current setup
Hector (+Spd/-Res) Armads/Pivot/Pavise//DC/Vantage 3/Goad Armor

(I have spent countless F2P orbs trying to get Effie to no avail, so Gwen is next best)
Gwendolyn (+Atk/-Spd) Killer Lance+/Pivot/Ignis//Fury 3/Renewal 3/Hone Armor

Tana (+Def/-Res) Vidofnir/Reposition/Moonbow//Spd-Def2/Hit and Run/Guidance 3

Personally I'm still of the opinion that without Amelia, or at least her Armor March on someone, Armor Emblem teams aren't all that great.

My opinions aside though, I think BK is generally a much better unit in that he can accomplish so many more things, especially if you get Steady Breath and Wrath on him. Those skills combined on him with a built in DC on his weapon and his exclusive Black Luna (or Eclipse, cause that's supposed to be it's name lol) make him one of the strongest units in the game. Zephiel unfortunately is just good at one thing, being physically tanky as fuuuuck lol

But that's where the crux of the decision should lie, do you need a tankier unit on your squad who doesn't really have to do damage and just needs to bait out enemy units and absorb damage until he gets Ignis up and OHKOs something? Or do you want a more versatile unit who may be easier for arena opponents to kill due to his low Res and lack of Wary Fighter, but also his a higher chance of just stomping everything and everyone who doesn't respect his potential?

Also the BK is objectively better in PvE modes, hands down.

I swap to BK also, mostly because Zephiel can't kill a lot of green in one round that they go after Effie next turn which sucks for her. Zephiel has become my 4th armor though dropping out Draug. Here are their stats if you if want to compare, I didn't go all out on BK but he can kill green units with this build and Effie using Goad Armor to bump up his speed to 41.
