CDC > KoR and Requiscat. The additional proc on excalibur (hp) is rather nice for certain things (and procs more than I had anticipated). If you're in a group that still uses PLD in VW (most NA shouts), you're going to be better off using Almace 9/10 times. The only exceptions I can think of are hahava type mobs as requiscat does decently on them. KoR isn't terrible, but it also isn't CDC. I still use Excalibur more than Almace, but its because I spent a lot of gil on it so its more of a I'll do as I please type of a thing. The aftermath of KoR is also not that amazing, however it can be nice if you're dicking around. Also Almace requires a few days to complete, where as Excali (unless you're sitting on enough gil and your server actually has a large supply of bronze available) takes quite a bit longer.

you can go here if you want to read more into it. fact is excal is expensive and only good in certain rare situations. overall almace will serve you better.

Since your almace will likely be stuck at 90 and your Excalibur to 99 (depending on what the final word for stage 1 99 is...) seems very achievable I would say Excalibur. Comparing 99 to 99 would be a lot closer but very few people will be upgrading empys past 90.
