Without stances, Dragon Nikana is generally good, but it's more an anti-crowd weapon due to its sweeping attacks. Dakra Prime on the other hand has the potential to have the highest damage per hit of all weapons, but only when equipped with the Crimson Dervish stance and only on normal swings. Depending on the stance though, the Dakra Prime can be a devastating weapon with lots of versatility.

Each has different playstyles, but from my experience they're both top tier weapons, so just find the weapon which fits you better.
