What both of them offer: Mitigation, BB fill when attacked, complete BB replenish (though in different forms) and 75% mitigation for 3 turns in their UBB. Their leader skills boost HP and Def.

Reason why Lafiel > Laberd: As a sub, she also offer BB fill when sparking, which is useful when reliance on BC is close to zero. Therefore, in certain cases, she is very viable in raids, probably Barion raid quest. As a leader, she also offers elemental and critical nullification, meaning she eliminated all kinds of terrible RNG that may have or may not have killed your units. Therefore, she's more viable when BC is really scarce, and when RNG can bite you back.

Reason why Laberd > Lafiel: As a sub, Laberd offers a raw defense boost and probable huge attack down, which is a defensive combo pack that can hugely reduce damages from enemies. As a leader, Laberd offers further mitigation in case enemies deals enough HP to you and even more BB fill when attacked. Therefore, he's more viable when facing enemies that actively hits you hard.

From this point on, it depends on your play style. For active scavenge and RNG-nullification, go for Lafiel. For passive scavenge and revenge, go for Laberd. Though multiple hard contents might have a different strategy, and might require you to have both styles. GlazeWinter, please refer to this analyzation I made a while ago.
