This simply put depends on what frame and weapon you are using. Does your weapon have a high status chance? Can your frame/gear shred off armor in any way? (Seeking Shuriken, Reckoning, Sharpened Claws, etc.) Furthermore, it should be said that Corrosive damage is very effective against Ferrite Armor (Scorpions, Heavy Gunners) whereas it doesn't get any damage bonus to Alloy Armor (Elite Lancers, Bombards, Napalms).

In general, I personally don't find Corrosive that useful since there are way more effective ways of dealing with armor, which makes Viral damage the winner in my book. That proc is also extremely useful and it only needs to proc once whereas Corrosive procs need a few instances before it becomes noticeable. This makes Corrosive damage mostly viable for high status chance weapons in my eyes, as well as high level enemies, but I still prefer Viral over Corrosive since I tend to deal with armor in other ways.
