They are roughly equal. The Wraith does about 6% more theoretical sustained DPS with identical mods. The Prime has about 7.5% higher status chance.

Also, I qualified the Wraith's DPS advantage as theoretical because it's more difficult to actually get in real-world play than the Prime. The Prime does more damage per shot, meaning you need to shoot more rapidly with the Wraith to outdamage the Prime. As your fire rate goes up, accuracy naturally tends to decline.

Overall, I'd say the Wraith is better for low to moderate level enemies due to being able to 1-shot enemies in those level ranges with a more rapid fire rate than the Prime. The Prime is better for higher level enemies due to stronger single shot damage (you have to pick your shots more against very difficult enemies; the Rambo approach doesn't work) and higher status chance per shot. Procs matter primarily against high level enemies, as lower level enemies just die in one shot.
