As many have said before me, it depends on how you use it. Most if not all Kogetsu users have Senkū to compensate for ranged combat. Scorpion is just glass. Fast, but fragile. Only two combatants use Mantis so Kogetsu has some range advantages. Think about it. Imagine playing tag, and one person has a broom that they can tag with. A Scorpion user needs to be super creative. And I don't believe that Kogetsu users are straight forward. They know that they are being predicted, and a Scorpion user just has to wait for an opening. That's why agents have more triggers. Bullets and shields can cover for missed slashes. I personally would choose Scorpion because of a certain trigger combination that I want. But that's because it's a instant creative option. Because Kogetsu seems less creative, it makes the user think so he/she can make it work. I want to switch between shooting and Scorpion, and Senkū would take up a trigger slot that I need.

What? It was stated that Kogetsu is overall the best Attacker Trigger. That statement is verified through the stats we got of them. The argument of Jin and Tachikawa isn't really valid too. Jin was more equal to Tachikawa after he changed to Scorpion, but in the same page was it even stated, that Tachikawa still won more fights, even after the change.

Coming to the Trigger *types*...


 * Kogetsu is the most offensive Trigger with high durability, that let's you chop through harder Trion Bodies and Shields. Senku gives them range and Genyo Scorpion like versatility.


 * Scorpion has no limits to it's form as long as the User has Trion, yet is pretty fragile and can't be blocked with regularly, which is the reason why mainly speedsters or tricksters choose Scorpion. The exception here is Kageura, who is a Mantis spammer and a dueling/fighter type. The combination of 2 Scorpion makes his (Whip) Blade more durable, yet are you instantly killed when you are caught off guard, since you can't use a Shield with Mantis. Kageuras Side Effect makes his fighting style possible...


 * Raygust is a combination of those ^2^ Triggers and the only defensive one. It is heavier and the most durable one and can form itself to a Shield or to a lighter weapon/sword. It gives the User even speed with the usage of Thruster. Thruster would allow you to move your Blade faster during combat, which might allow to react faster or let's you move to an enemy or friend...

-I would even say that Raygust is the best Trigger for C Rankers, since they have access to just 1 Trigger (no shields, just Bagworm and 1 trigger of choice I think). You can form a Shield with Raygust incase of fighting Shooters/Gunners, make your weapon lighter if you fight an Attacker and deactivate Raygust when you want to run.

So yeah, Kogetsu is the best trigger. Stat wise at least and it's the most offensive one, which is why it's preferred by so many. The reason why Raygust isn't really used very often is, because not everyone knows all details about it and it lacking the offensive power, which is something that most beginners are looking for. I would categorise the Triggers like this...

Kogetsu - Fighters, Bait, Support (and Trickster, because of Genyo and the customised Spear version)

Scorpion - Speedster, Trickster (and fighter but just when you have a SE like Kage, which makes it impossible for you to get caught off guard)

Raygust - Fighter, Bait, Vanguard, Speedster, Trickster (Being a Speedster and Trickster is probably more difficult, than it is with Scorpion)
