Well I have been mulling this thought for a while but no matter which way I see it, the natural weakness of a DF certainly is much more damaging than using armament haki to strike your opponent.

Lets look at some of Luffy's fights

Luffy vs crocodile,
Luffy-mizu literally recked crocodile way back. After that crocodile re-appeared in marineford and proved a really tough nut to crack for many people at MF. I don't understand this, since he spent this entire time in the marine jail, there was no way he could have gotten stronger. Yet he showed some strength when fighting in marineford even matching Doflamingo's strength upto a point.

Luffy vs enel,
Again I believe that a person using Haki to fight enel would not have done as much damage as Luffy was able to do being made of rubber.

Ace vs Aokiji,
Even in this battle it is clear that Ace had the upper hand only because his fruit was the natural opponent of Aokiji's Ice.
Because immediately afterwards we saw akainu blow a hole in ace's body with just a punch.

Admirals vs WB pirates,
Here again I believe the major factor was the logia bodies of the admirals. There was simply no member in WB pirates who was really skilled at using Haki. They knew the basics of it but nobody was a refined armament haki user like vergo.
Even WB failed to kill Akainu, because his DF could not do much damage to him anyway and the damage that he caused was because of his armament.

So basically what I wanted to say is this,
  1. Suppose luffy's normal punch does 100 damage to a normal person (non logia).
  2. Then the same punch by Luffy to a Logia like Kizaru will do 0 damage.
  3. Now Luffy against a logia like Enel does 100 damage with the same punch.

  1. Let us say Luffy covers his hand with armament, then he does 150 damage with his punch against a normal person (non-logia)
  2. Now the same armament haki covered punch will do 80 damage against a logia like kizaru
  3. And Luffy against a logia like enel will do 150 damage with armament covered punch.

So I think a natural opposite of a DF is able to do more damage than by using armament haki. What are your thoughts?

Power level > Natural weakness.

If you don't have strength you will not beat your opponent no mather what advantage you have.

Ace was able to off set Aokiji's attack, if he had higher power level he would be able to do so, he got hole from Akainu, but Akainu is stronger, and he killed Ace while he was protecting Luffy.

Enel and Crocodile are so overrated.
