Umu Bride is really strong in an arts team if you have Tamamo and/or Waver. She's very flexible and can support other arts-based servants to NP spam like Vlad. Her main weakness is that she has no protection against NPs and must rely on Tamamo's skills or Waver's NP to keep enemies in check, Vlad's NP drain, etc. but otherwise with the right support, she will spam her NP every other turn to nuke bosses. Know that with 167 SQ, you have a 32% chance of rolling Umu Bride within that amount of SQ.

Bryn is a little more flexible than Scathach and supports more while Scath nukes harder. But her support is not as flexible as Umu Bride's support. Her strength is basically being a very good lancer that can support, and on par with Scathach's overall performance in the long-run, potentially edged out by Tamamo Lancer and Ereshkigal. However, if you have Lancer Artoria Alter, she is a very powerful stand-alone lancer that sets you up for life, waifu reasons aside.

Skip both if you want to improve your chances of JAlter. I would wait until  Umu Bride's second rate-up during the Nero Fest rerun in the autumn because regular Umu is also on rate-up then. So if you don't get Umu Bride, you might get regular Nero while improving your odds for JAlter. Assassin Shiki is also coming in February and she's a very powerful, free arts servant--and we'll get more powerful free arts servants in the future too like Chloe and BB that might take up a servant spot that Umu Bride would otherwise occupy.
