What claw stance should I use for Garuda's Talons?

I finally got Garuda after weeks of farming, and now I have no idea what claw stance to put on her talons. Malicious Raptor seems like the one I want to put on most but I have no clue what would be most effective.

I use Malicious Raptor for my Garuda’s Claws because of the Finisher i can get from the block combo. If the enemy survives the finisher, i can do a ground finisher on him/her. I haven’t tried the other ones yet though but i would try tomorrow.

The general opinion on claw stances is

Malicious Raptor is used for holding the claws, it has a really good finisher combo that's easy to perform

Vermilion Storm is used for not holding the claws, it turns your quick melees into an powerful mini combo

Four Riders is used for slide attacks, it has an odd 2x multiplier on the slide attack compared to the other stances

 

That said, Garuda's Talons have 30% status slash with a 10% crit chance, that's basically screaming for memes (maiming strike and weeping wounds)
