i would say, if you are not to the point where you are good at getting that green buff when you need it for heals, then probably pseudocath iii is a good choice. but I definitely prefer the higher healing power over the kinsect base attack damage, because kinsects are basically useless for attacking other than their dust effect, even with a very high power, their raw attack just is bleh

This is the best kinsect and here is why. kinsects mainly exist for only 2 purposes. purpose 1 - to get your buffs. (which includes healing green buffs if you need it). purpose 2 - to do their kinsect attack specifically to get their dust effects on the field. The damage that a kinsect does with it's normal attack is so minor that it is insignificant. Even with the higher damage power kinsects, they just can't do enough damage to justify the sacrifice in the other stats. The kinsect attack is so pin-prick tiny that it's not worth using. The speed of this kinsect is self-explanatory, if you need me to explain why speed is good on a kinsect, you haven't played insect glaive enough to be here, go away and come back after you use it for a few weeks. The Blast dust effect is not affected by the power rating of the kinsect. Also Blast damage from the dust effect scales based on the monster you are fighting. So on a stronger monster, it hits harder simply because the monster is stronger. Blast is also be best kinsect dust effect available, because it effects all monsters equally, and no monsters are strong against it. The extra damage, flinching, and knockdowns possible using blast damage are very nice to have during a fight. And when combined with that damage scaling I mentioned earlier, this dust effect is by far the best available. Also the heal stat from the Kinsect determines how much healing you will get from the green kinsect buff. At this level it is roughly equivalent to a single normal healing potion, and unlike a healing potion, the heal effect from the green kinsect buff is Instant. So if you need an instant heal, you can flick out your kinsect and get that instant health boost, without spending time drinking a potion. So with practice, you will find yourself automatically flipping out your kinsect for that green instant heal quite a lot. (I've only recently really started to do this reflexively without thinking about it, after around 400 hours of dedicated playtime with insect glaive, so this isn't a skill you will pick up and appreciate overnight, but trust me, it is very useful!). One other thing, the problem with Dragon Soul kinsect specifically is it has 1/2 kinsect stamina recharge rate of all other kinsects. Thus dragon soul is spending much more time on your arm recharging, and not going out and giving dust effects or getting you buffs when you need them. Thus dragon soul is reduced to boondoggle status, it's pretty to look at, but ultimately not worth using.
