If you're willing to spend a potato, Vasto by a lot. If you want to spend only a forma, Seer.

Reasons; Vasto without potato - Barrel Diffusion(5), No Return(6), Ice Storm(8), Hornet Strike(11). These are it's must have mods. It's missing two core things - Target Cracker and Pistol Gambit. With those, it outdamages Seer easily. Without, it will not. Seer has other advantages - No recoil and zoom. Vasto is hitscan, and reloads extremely fast. Vasto is better at close range, Seer is better at medium-long and intensely better extremely long range.

Ultimately, it depends on your primary weapon, playstyle and personal preference(aesthetics and feel) towards the two. Overall, Seer compliments more primary weapons, because of Zoom. Vasto, in my opinion, tries to be a Seer and Viper in one. It can burst, but no where near as good as Viper. It can snipe, but no where near as good as Seer.
