Dragonite and Garchomp are top tier attackers for Raids and Gym busting.
MegaChomp is excellent with either Dragon or Earth moves.
I use all 3 often when the Raid rotation suits which one is required.
It all comes down to Use v Trophy.

I don’t usually take part in raids, only tier 1 if I’m nearby (I exhausted remote passes before realizing niantic had ruined them…) and tier 3 I cannot do alone and have no interest in meeting up with other people for raids (I’d like to try one again against a pokemon that I actually have an excellent combination for, but still!). Gyms I’m good with the current pokemon I have, too, so at least I’ll have Garchomp as a powerhouse against either activities if I want, with no pressing need to evolve dragonair.
I don’t have either in my pokedex, so my priority will be to get a Garchomp first, as I want its skill/usefulness. It’s cool and all, but it’s not really a pokemon I’m emotional attached to, like dragonair. I think I want to keep that as is for my collection (if only they’d put dratini back in the egg pool…), at least for now!
