Depends on what you consider more important, Offence or Defence

Poi is undoubtedbly the best in Offence. 73 Base Firepower is miles ahead of Shimakaze. The small difference in torpedo stat doesn't really matter much in Day Combat. Most of the time, enemies with high armor will just shrug off any torpedo that is not from a CLT while low armored enemies will just get overkilled by almost any DD's torpedo

Shimakaze on the other hand, has the best overall defensive stats with her HP, EVA and Armor. Her Firepower is still great, but it may not OHKO ships that Poi can.

Everyone has a different opinion to what they think is more important. I'd personally go for Offence over Defence. "Offence is the best defence" that sort of thing.
