Depends, against metals, marauder has a bigger edge in reliablity, hayabusa does a good bit more damage, but at a lower chance. hayabusa's range is also a great deal higher, not to mention his insanely good effect area of 250 - 650, allowing him to hit in a 400 aoe attack with 285  range past his standing point

7 knockbacks while marauder has 3. and  more HP

to compare stats

Marauder, and Hayabusa

39100  HP vs 46,750 HP

6800(13600 as a crit) damage vs 10200(20400 as a crit)

245 range vs 365 range

5 second attack vs 4.95 second attack

50% critical chance vs 30% critical chance

7 speed vs 25 speed

3 knockbacks vs 7 knockbacks

48.2 second recharge vs 108.2 second recharge

there passives

immune to knockback vs LD and immune to slow

Ive put the ones in bold that  marauder has better and slanted the ones that could go either way.

marauder may be more reliable hayabusa has a slight edge i would say.

and thats only comparing the first form of hayabusa, not to mention his other forms can be used to counter zombies and aliens.

i would say hayabusa, though if you are in a clutch situation marauder is better to get the job done.
