Dont listen to anything the previous guy said.

If your Dread is level 30, keep it. It doesnt have armor ignore like the paris but makes up for it with 2 V slots so it doesnt really need a catalyst and a higher base damage. Its quite rare so you might want to keep it around as a trophy anyway. Keep your potatoed Paris, its quite good and you should never sell a potatoed weapon because you'll lose the catalyst.

You can sell the Lex when its maxed, you can buy it afterwards for little credits if you really want it back. You can sell the Hikou, your potatoed Kunai are more ammo efficient and you can boost up their firerate with mods if you want to, despair are the best throwing weapons in my opinion (if you can get them off the greedy stalker), but Kunai will do good as well.

Whatever you do, DONT sell the Lato vandal. Its a limited one time only thing and only closed beta players got it. From what i have heard its pretty good, so keep it around.

All the other suggestions he made are good weapons but he's an idiot to suggest them like they are obvious. You will need a large amount of resources to craft those (including forma's) and you will need a pretty high mastery rank to even be able to make them.

As for your original question, thats up to you. Just play a bit with both and see what you like the most. The Dread has 2 polarity slots and does not really need the catalyst for you to fit on the mods you want (serration and split chamber for example), but if you do put the catalyst on it, you can absolutely go ham with elemental mods and stuff.

Dual Vastos don't have polarity slots, so a catalyst would allow you to put on the normal damage mods and also the crit build mods.

But honestly: I wouldnt put the catalyst on either one of those. The dread doesn't really need it, and you already have a bow with a catalyst on it. The Vastos are fun to use and handle their own decently, but you already have Kunai with a catalyst which outclass the dual Vastos.

Since you already have good primary and secondaries, maybe look into the melee weapons and consider putting your catalyst on one of those?
