Cerakote is tougher. It will still show wear on sharp edges over time, bit it is tough stuff.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Cerakote blows duracoat away, period.

Cerakote will wear too, in places of metal to metal contact, but nothing like duracoat.

Cerakote is more wear resistant, however it does not have the slick properties of Duracoat. IMO Duracoat is better for stocks and works better on metal contact surfaces like bolts and pistol slides.
