Which card is better: Lyra Dawnbringer vs Doom Whisperer

I'm going to be doing a series of posts where people simply pick which card is the better MTG card and then give reasoning to back it up. You choose your own reasoning for why the card is better (better means different things to different people).
#1
Lyra Dawnbringer
vs
Doom Whisperer
I feel these two match up very well in power level and both are powerhouses of the standard environment. The 5cmc creature slot is very weak right now in standard, and these two are clearly the two most powerful options on their own. So, which is better and why?

Lyra keeps you
alive
, making it a far more ideal top end than Dpom Whisperer, which has Trample and is 6/6 instead of 5/5. But Lyra has first strike, and has a very good lord effect, also granting
lifelink
.

It depends on the deck.
My Karador
Shadowborn Apostle
deck would want
Doom Whisperer
over Lyra for obvious reasons whereas the Orzhov life gain deck that does feature some angels to benefit from her buff that I'm building would want Lyra.
Then again, both would fit into a Kaalia deck.

In a vacuum:
Doom Whisperer
> Lyra -
Doom Whisperer
wins in combat. Lyra cannot attack in and win alone vs it. And it can activate its effect right away, giving you some immediate value.
I'd probably say Lyra has a better 'constructed score'. She buffs other angels to be able to beat
Doom Whisperer
in combat, and
lifelink
is no joke on a bunch of fliers.

You don't necessarily evaluate them based on which beats the other, though.
