I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. if you're trying to say that evasion skill isn't subject to level correction but +evasion is... well it could very well be the case but there's no evidence to back it up, and testing such would take a lot of parse data along with needing the data for various mobs' and their level ranges to go with the data collected for each individual battle fought.
what I'm mostly trying to get at is that, since the difference is so minimal to begin with, you'd probably just be better off using the piece of gear with the higher value. for any such pieces with similar values, +eva should do overall better because, let's face it, anything you are most likely to use such a build on will only be used in situations where it's possible to have a good evasion rate to begin with (meaning the enemy's level shouldn't be drastically higher than your own).
as far as the old saying that "1 evasion skill = 4 +evasion", that came from theory crafting among ninjas during the old ninja boom back in the day (back when all we had was pencil and paper or our 'sharp' memories to determine what's now gathered from saved log data or parsing programs, lol). there was never any evidence gathered to backup this claim and it was passed around by word of mouth from vetrans to nubbies trying to help in their decision making among gear choices.
