Crobat or Garchomp for competitive?

i’m thinking of using either a crobat or garchomp for a team. Not sure which one i’d like to use. Which is better? Garchomp has legend stats, but weak to fairy. Crobat on the other hand has fairy resistance but not the same stats. would it be better? Im having trouble picking. Both would be fast physical attackers.

For the most part, it really does depend on your team, as both these Pokémon are better suited for very different roles, but here’s a comparison anyway:

However, most of Crobat’s most commonly used sets are for fast utility. If there’s one thing Crobat has, it’s speed, which makes Taunt a great option for it. Most sets run some combination of Taunt, Roost, U-Turn, Brave Bird, and/or Defog. One thing to note, though, is that other utility Pokémon, notably Mew, generally outclass it. Mew’s still really fast, a lot bulkier, isn’t weak to Stealth Rocks, and can learn pretty much everything Crobat can except for Brave Bird (which you wouldn’t want to run on Mew even if it could learn it), plus more. Crobat is really just kind of mediocre in this current metagame.

In conclusion, if you need a sweeper, go Garchomp. If you need utility, Crobat is an option, but I would recommend looking at other utility Pokémon, as well.
