They are both great and you will eventually get both of them, especially since DDs in general need to be higher level to perform with evasion being important for them and ehat not. Verniy is my favorite shipgirl and I don't regret grinding her out at all.

That said, if you are a relatively new admiral, Akatsuki may be a better choice for you since she comes with searchlight, and, unfortunately, verniy comes with no remodel equipment. She also has slightly more overall firepower but in terms of stats they are roughly the same.
