Time to get my Rom Tac a new ship. I think I've got it down to these two.
I know I really liked the Tier 5 Adapted Destroyer, but it's turn rate kinda stinks. A turn console might help, but not sure I want to take up the console slot. However, I DO like the shrapnel torpedoes and the warp core 2 piece set.
I've never flown the Mogai except for the freebie while leveling up, but it looks decent, and has a better turn rate. Also a 5th tac console for that extra punch. However the ablative shield console is kinda useless to me, I'd rather have an offensively based console.
I've been saving up so the price (whether EC or Zen) is not a factor here.
What are your thoughts on comparing these two ships?

Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

Fantastic ship, solid console that pairs well with other consoles, desirable trait, and it's an account wide unlock. It really has no downside.

Today the T5 adapted is 120m ec and T6 300m, some of those T5 ships have seen their prices just drop and drop, it might be a good idea to get the morrigu and monitor the prices of the Adapted. As an example the T5 Narcine can now be had for about 50m and used to cost five times that.

4/3 on a DHC build (which I use) is a waste compared to ships such as Pilot ships with its 5/2 layout = more forward guns = more damage
The morrigu you sacrifice a forward gun for a rear gun/turret, ok the console is very good but at the cost of a forward gun is a trade off I don't want to make.
I guess you could stick Beam Arrays on it and make it a Beam Escorty-type ship - seen some YouTube vids of those and they look awesome.
But I love my DHC's, and at 4/3 the Morrigu just doesn't cut the mustard for me. I'll stick to my 5/2 Pilot ships.

Nothing wrong with 4/3 setups, especially not for DHC boats. Slap on that Hydrodynamics Compensator + the Heavy Bio-Molecular Disruptor Turret (for the acc and extra Disruptor dmg bonus), an extra Disruptor Omni/turret in aft as well, 4x of your DHC Disruptors in fore, and you'll have a fine ship.
Thanks for the clarification, I knew there was a reason behind the Morrigu love :-)
One Quick further question... How do you raise your Aux so high? Special consoles/warpcore set?
Compared to the Morrigu, you're trading a slight amount of durability and native 5-tac consoles(Jhu'ael requires a fleet version for its 5th) for a hangar, more agility, more science consoles, and potential access to Annihilation Mode(+wpn pwr and sing gen rate; ability to fire a sustained doom-beam) as well as native quad cannon set bonuses if you have it's lower tier cousins.
Otherwise, between the two; the Morrigu gets an ensign sci seat while the Jhu'ael get an ensign eng seat instead. The hybrid seat for both of them is, effectively, their Lt.Cmdr Science seat(Morrigu technically sports a universal, but slotting anything other than Science for it leaves you with only a single sci ability). Morrigu hybrids Intel; Jhu'ael hybrids Pilot.
Between them both, their startship masteries and set bonus are both quite excellent, but they go about their fatal purpose in slightly different ways. Morrigu is more about power efficiency; Jhu'ael is about using a bunch of weapon systems at the same time. I honestly couldn't tell you which would be more deady in burst or sustained engagements. Morrigu's OSS/IT and weapon drain reduction counts for a lot, but the Jhu'ael gets enough set damage boosts, is able to focus its fighter's damage, and is able to manipulate its singularity core to a greater extent that might very well put it within parity.
I suspect the Morrigu would be better at AoE, while the Jhu'ael would get the upper hand when cutting down bigger targets.
