Well you can open up the pages and check for both stats.

Okina has higher attack speed and higher slam, slide, and wall attack damage but lower base damage. Also, it has an almost balanced distribution to puncture and slash damage at 18 and 20 damage respectively. It should do pretty well against grineer and infested targets.

Ether daggers has lower attack speed, and lower slam, slide, and wall attack damage but higher base damage. Most of it's damage is distributed to slash with an even distribution to impact and puncture of 31.5, and 6.8 respectively.

Now, comparing the overall performance of an Okina to ether daggers, naturally I'd pick Okina. But since bladed sais are not my thing (Sais are actually prong blunt weapons, not blades), I'd pick ether daggers because I like daggers. Also because Ether Daggers are slash based dual daggers with a workable status chance to cause bleed procs which is my favourite manner of taking down enemies. You can just throw in a few slashes and move along. If they don't die via bleed procs, slam directly on them and finish them off.

To conclude my comment, go for the Okina if you are concerned about performance. To me, you really don't even need to consider which of them are better since they aren't great for end game stuff given how poopy their damage is to begin with. I'd say, just bring whichever you favour to have a good time.
