For what purpose?

Overall i'd say the moros is now the most flexible and the rev still has the no-reload thing going for it, but I've heard some people swear by other dreads for various reasons and if the purpose is simply shooting structures then it doesn't make much difference. All I can tell you from recent experience is that phoenix alts are being sold like post-christmas clearance rack junk. That should give you an idea about which one people are not after.

order hasnt really changed much IMO.
used to be:

Rev--Moros--------Naglfar------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Phoenix

now, it's more like this:

Rev/Moros------Naglfar---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Phoenix

From the stats the Moros is the best, can armour or shield tank for some lols, get a craptonne of DPS from it, and cap lasts long enough

Depends what u want it for though

Moros used to be better than Revelations against actual ships due to drones. Rev for POS bash.

Now, there's the Rev, and everything else, including Moros, is crap, since dreads are now useful only for POS bash. And lol@ Moros blaster dps, it doesn't reach through large tower radius.Lol

Rev is the best for one very simple reason, it's the cheapest to operate. Normal crystals last until the ship pops and they aren't exactly expensive to start with. Even if you use faction ammo, for 15M isk or so you can destroy many structures before having to buy new crystals. The other dreads can easily burn that much on a single structure. Other than the ammo costs, they are all pretty similar save for the phoenix. The problem with the phoenix is explosion radius. The turreted dreads can hit small but stationary targets, the phoenix just can't hit anything for full damage. Technically the naglfar has the same problem but since it's only half missiles and pretty ganky anyways, it isn't as big of an issue.

A Rev using faction ammo is still cheaper than Other dreads using regular tech 1 ammo.
