I have also, however, been alternating my D-DC and "S" as well. Firstly, for me at least, the world of the Atlas has changed dramatically over the years in many ways. In skilled hands it was often a juggernaut that scored high much more often than not. Now, with numerous changes, new maps, mechs, etc, etc, the challenges are greater and strategies have changed.
All that aside, I found that after 10 matches (5+5) both had similar results as far as damage and kills. The D-DC did have a longer lifespan. Of course, 'luck of the maps' (eg- Polar vs.Frozen City) is a determining factor, as is the makeup of your team, the makeup of the other team, the number of LRM boats involved, and so on.
Will try another 10 and see if the results are consistent. Has anyone else done a comparison of multiple matches?
