This may be my personal opinions, but here goes:

As a current user of the Reaper Prime and a past user of the Orthos, I can safely say that the two have a very different play style.

- The Reaper Prime excels normal attacks, with its high damage, attack speed, and 100% stagger rate. If you like spamming E, then give this one a go. (If you can find the damn Reaper Blade!)

- I haven't used the Orthos Prime myself, but from looking at the stats compared to the original one, it seems to be a straight upgrade. I really enjoyed using the Orthos, so I imagine this is an excellent weapon. Unlike the Reaper, you'll find yourself having the greatest amount of success with a Charge Attack build. You'll be able to line up the area around you, hold E, and watch as the bodies of the poor enemies are slashed right in two. I liked using this mostly because it seemed like every shot was deliberate, rather than slashing around like a maniac. (Which is still satisfying as hell) You could probably get away with using a normal attack build, with those stats, but the Orthos is infamous for being one of the best charge attack weapons availible.

- As mentioned, I haven't had any personal experience with the Hate myself, but from what other people have said and what the stats say, it excels in charge attacks. On paper, the Hate is outclassed by the Reaper in regular attacks, and its charge attack speed is a bit a slower than the Orthos with identical damage, making it seem like a straight downgrade in both regards.

So in closing, it comes down to personal preference. All three of these weapons are powerful, but if you want to make normal attack build, go Reaper. If you want to make a Charge attack build, go Orthos. If you want to make a charge attack build and look badass as hell with a Scythe, go get that Hate.

As I stated earlier, I'm probably not the most trustworthy source for this sort of thing maybe Orthos is better than Reaper in normal attacks too, but I don't know. Hope I could help a bit.
