As KoS and VL share same command ability, thinking VL more useful as can recover D3 wounds to 3 separate units which seems more effective than GoS spell which can be dispelled. But wouldn’t miss out on allegiance battle traits esp deathless spirits.

is there one that stands out as particularly ineffective?

Just make sure to model him flying or with wings.  It is so odd seeing a situation where an ally in Death armies is so attractive.  Allegece Traits and access to spells/relics/etc normally discourage it.

The only compelling reason to favor the KoS would be survivability.  I normally get very nervous on smaller leader models and how easily some people delete them.  So while people with the regular 3+ save are better off I have come to like the bedsheet 4+ etherial.
