Drake's Rush also gives ulti-gen to your partner, but requires more micro-management. Basalt may give you more, but on a two-bar build that arguably depends on your build and playstyle.
Both sets could be single-barred. Drake's Rush's ulti-gen should carry to the other bar. Basalt's won't, but it has no cooldown as such. There's probably not much in it, unless you come up with an Oakensoul Basalt build.
My guess is that people recommend Drake's, because Basalt is a catch 22. Imagine a YouTuber publishing a Basalt build. Half the comment section would cry out that they're doing the archive for the first time.
For EA, if you are running with a Duo then Drake's is definitely better since it will buff your partner. Also there is a vision that will extend your major buffs so the cool down will be irrelevant once you have that. Since it is based on a bash, you don't have to slot or cast a specific skill to proc it as well.
Remember when everyone thought Basalt was going to be OP...
