Even counting higher magic defenses, dmb almost always does more damage (though not a whole lot, we're talking maybe 50, tops.) It is also restricted to DMs, and shut down by gmb.
Which is better depends on the situation, any time gmb is involved slb wins out, when its not dmb is better. Its not worth joining the dms to get, its just a plus if you're already a member, and if you go to ng+ then you can have both (get slb in ng, join dms in NG+)
