Neither Jevil reward is universally better. Choose the Devilsknife for Susie’s offense and cheaper Buster use; choose the Jevilstail for defense and the freedom to equip any party member. They are different gear types, so the right pick depends on the slot and character you want to improve.

How the two rewards compare

Item Type and who can equip it Listed effects Best fit
Devilsknife Weapon; Susie only +5 AT, +4 Magic, and lower Buster TP cost. The item entry describes the Rude Buster cost reduction as 10. Susie’s offense, magic, and Buster efficiency. (Deltarune Wiki item entry; Jevil entry)
Jevilstail Armor; any party member +2 AT, +2 DF, and +2 Magic. A flexible armor slot with a defense bonus, or a character other than Susie. (Deltarune Wiki item entry)

AT is attack, DF is defense, and Magic is the listed magic stat. Since one reward is a weapon and the other is armor, their bonuses do not compete for the same equipment slot.

Which should you choose?

Choose Devilsknife for Susie

Its +5 AT and +4 Magic make it the more specialized offensive reward, and the Buster TP reduction is useful if you want Susie to use Rude Buster more efficiently. The item entry specifies a reduction of 10, but that figure should be read as the listed cost reduction rather than a guarantee that the weapon is best in every later fight. (Devilsknife item entry; Jevil entry)

Choose Jevilstail for defense or flexibility

The Jevilstail adds +2 DF alongside +2 AT and +2 Magic, and its armor slot can be used by any party member. It is the natural pick if survivability matters more to you, or if you would rather strengthen someone besides Susie. (Jevilstail item entry)

How the choice is tied to Jevil’s defeat

The item entries list the Devilsknife as the reward for defeating Jevil by fighting and the Jevilstail as the reward for defeating him through ACTing/mercy. That makes the comparison a route choice as well as an equipment choice. These entries do not establish that both rewards can be obtained from the same victory. (Jevil entry)

What Jevil says when handing them over

The item entries reproduce Jevil’s Devilsknife handoff line as “TAKE ME AND DO YOUR STRONGEST—!” and the Jevilstail line as “TAKE THIS AND DO YOUR STRONGEST—!” These are lines attributed to the character in fan-maintained item entries. (Devilsknife item entry; Jevilstail item entry)

Does one stay better in later chapters?

These listed stats support a choice based on role and preferred character, not a definitive ranking across every later encounter. The available item information does not establish that either reward remains the best option in all later chapters.
