If you don't mind the ascension and deployment costs of a 5-star, NP2 Artoria is better than NP1 Alter on all fronts. The difference isn't huge, but if higher base stats, slightly better skills, and a difference of 50% NP damage justify the costs for you, then go ahead.

Just keep in mind that you could get more out of investing in Alter. You're more likely of drawing a second or third copy of her, making her NP much better. Also, if you're willing to drop a couple of grails on her, Alter's attack is slightly better than Artoria's at 90.

In either case, you're not missing out on too much.

If you're still not sure, just go with the one you like more. This game is more about getting to play with the characters you like than sweating over the metagame.
