It all depends on the type of piercing and how it is applied. Now some may just jump on the bangwagon and say raiton has better piercing and cutting properties but I use manga scans. #Money talks #Bull-shit walks
anyways OT: for example lets say raiton and wind are applied to a weapon. Sasukes chidori kusanagi for example. Sasuke's katan enhanced with raiton was shown to give it more penetrating and cutting power as shown against yamato when it sliced through his kunai[

]. It also highlighted by yamato of the sharpness increased by the raiton covering sasukes katana[

This again is demonstrated during the Itachi vs sasuke fight. Look at when sasukes throws the wind mill shuriken at the crow clone of itachi[

As you can see raiton when added to objects can be lethal in terms of the sharpness and cutting power and penetration.
Now lets get into Wind. As you can see Cutting is a unique characteristic of wind[

It begins here. We see Asuma and naruto both throw their wind influenced blade at a tree[

Narutos blade is only capable of stabbing the tree while Asumas blade goes through the tree and pierces a rock[

Heres the kicker

Asuma saids if he would had tried he could had made his wind blade go through the huge hard rock.
Then he goes on to say
THE WIND ELEMENT HAS THE STRONGEST OFFENSIVE POWER FOR CLOSE AND MIDDLE RANGE FIGHTS
You get it now? So in the end the wind element as some advantages over raiton in certain areas. That isnt to say that raiton is weak because it also has its advantages like sharpness. In the end Wind would most likely come out on top.
