Bleeding Willow has better mobility with Drifting Steel's triple lunge, impact status for crowd control (don't knock it, it keeps you alive), and a better basic combo (loops well). It also has a 125%/x2 charge attack that forces slash status, so you get both.

Shimmering Blight has a great multihit combo in Howling Gale, which also hits multiple targets with the lunge, but it's not as good at covering ground, so it's most useful when you're already in the thick of things.

I like Bleeding Willow, personally. Better animations IMO, and more options.
