    The Cub has better mag res and the Walker better phys as well as slightly higher hp. This alone would tell you that the Walker would make for a better tank in most scenarios, but the deciding factor really does come down to damage. The Shadou Cub is low, while the Walker is only bested by less than a handful of pets on the field. High phys res, decent mag res and relatively high dps makes the Walker the undisputed winner.

    This is not to say that a Shaodu Cub is not a worthy tank, i myself use one, as it's small size and more even stats (it can be considered to have both high phys and high mag res, as well as relatively high hp compared to other pets) do make it more attractive to some venos.

    ^ this , though the shadou has decent skills to retain aggro (just make sure u max Flesh ream). It all come to what u want though . Decent Physical tank = Walker , All-rounded tank which needs a bit time to get aggro but can keep very well if u are careful = cub.

    Against pure physical the walker is about 10% better. Against pure magic the cub is about 12% better. Against mobs which do both (typically 80% melee 20% magic) the walker is about 6% better.

    The walker also has an advantage in damage output (aggro/kill speed)
