We're talking about zetas.

Neither one has a great leadership. But Barriss has a solid zeta on her unique - not fantastic, but solid. (Actually, the earlier in your game you can put it on her, the better it is, because at high levels you have a lot of enemies that can one-shot you, but at low levels it takes a lot of hits to kill someone, so her zeta triggers more often.)

The difference is that Lumi's zeta is on her leadership. If you don't use her as a leader, it's completely wasted. Pure junk. Has no effect at all.

So as soon as you have better Jedi leaders - Jedi Revan, Bastila, GMY, General Kenobi - you'll never use Lumi's leadership OR Barriss' leadership again.

But since Barriss' zeta is NOT on her leadership, that zeta keeps working for you when you put Barriss in a GK or GMY or Bastilla squad. (By the time you have Jedi Revan, you'll want to use other jedi than Barriss).

Barriss also works fairly well on a Padme squad, in a pinch. And all those times with all those other leaders, Barriss' zeta keeps right on working.

But Lumi's zeta - even if you use her in those other squads - doesn't do anything at all, because it only functions when she's in the leadership slot.

So Lumi's zeta converts to junk in a matter of months.

Barriss' zeta keeps on working forever. Maybe you won't be using her in every GAC or every GW or every TW, but when you do, her zeta is still there.

Lumi's disappears - 20 zeta mats gone.

You said you're not worried about zeta mats, and if that's true, then do what you like. But if you care about not wasting zeta mats, I would definitely zeta Barriss and leave Lumi alone.

That's a lot of information that's not relevant to the question.
Barriss already has her zeta on.
The team involves last-string Jedi including the likes of Kit Fisto, Plo, and Eeth
I already have other first-string Jedi teams like JKRevan. I already mentioned this is for last-string teams for the likes of Territory wars.
Again, talking about Lumi and Barriss leadership only. Not where they work best on other teams, just which leader between the two...
Please let me know if you have any other questions....

Ok, strictly working within these parameters, I would give the edge to Lumi. Especially where you are using allies who have group buffs.

If you are facing opponents where effects "cannot be evaded" then barris becomes more even.

That being said, I still wouldn't waste a zeta on Lumi.
