Atheling unless you're fighting something REALLY easy/really debuffed.

Wouldn't cuch be better for evis since it feeds directly into the mods? Not saying you're wrong raen just asking.

I get much better results with cuch over atheling. TPing atheling all day but ws Cuch. Plus I like the fact that Cuch's stats will be there every ws not the 3%(added to the already present DA+ I know)every so often.

For the few things that cuchulain's is useful for now, I'd just sell it anyway and save an inventory slot.

Naw, is fine. It's good to ask.

5DEX on a 30% DEX mod WS is roughly a 1% increase in damage inside Abyssea (more outside). The STR on Cuch will do pretty much nothing inside Abyssea, again it'll contribute some damage inside. If you're SAing the WS, the DEX does more but the Attack and DA should comfortably overpower it, unless the Attack does nada.
