Two B!Ephraim, which one to use?

So I pulled two B!Ephraim.
-atk/+def
-def/+res
Not really sure which I should fodder? I'm leaning towards keeping the second one as I feel him having baned atk will severely cripple him. The second one can at least become a bit of a mixed tank with a seal or something to raise his def. Thoughts?

Brave Ephraim has 54 attack and 40 defense with Garm equipped and with a defense boon and an attack bane.

He also has 34 defense with a defense bane and 30 resistance with a resistance boon.

Don't look at boons and banes, but the stats in general.

Do you want 54 attack, 40 defense, and 26 resistance
Or
Do you want 57 attack, 34 defense, and 30 resistance?

-Atk puts him down to 35 base, 51 with Garm. I dont know about you, but i use all kinds of units with that kind of attack. It doesnt have to be your base B!Ephraim, but i think either will do just fine until you find one with ideal ivs

Garm grants atk+3, so it's 54.

He'll probably blow everything up with an ignis (and Garm + special fighter means it fires in one round on both phases regardless of whether he gets doubled), so I wouldn't mind the extra def, actually. Second one also appeals to me because I think he has good potential as a mixed tank.

I pulled one today and would say his res is a hinderance and so, the -def +res seems better as it improves mix bulk with his super boon and everyone likes higher attack right.

As someone whose B!Ephraim also has +Def, -Atk, he's perfectly fine with those IVs. Even with an Atk bane, his 54 Atk is still monstrous and since he can easily fire off Specials, his Special procs will definitely make up for that small -3 Atk.
