It depends a bit on what you have, what you want, and versus what. I'll speak on a more abrangent way.

By themselves, Okita presents a much better self-suficiency by generating stars herself. She can also spam her NP with much more ease due to the number of hits and the tendency to be able to land critical hits. Her Quick Up and Quick NP allows her to use her NP twice in a row. However, she depends on her natural absorption to obtain stars, plus her critical damage up is tied to her Evasion, which can be annoying sometimes.

Rama has a much higher burst damage potential in a single turn, potentially being able to NPBB at 100% self-crit boost, at a mere 4 turns cooldown. However he does not generate stars at all, requiring at least one person to generate stars for him, has lower base attack [thus, outside the burst, deals less damage than Okita on average]. As he only has Charisma, his NP alone tends to be weaker than Okita's, though when dealing with Magical beings he'll deal high damage.

On teams, Rama's potential burst depends on at least one person, or, if you have it, the Anniversary Blonde Mystic Code. Thus he requires a support to function well, and is usually the single spearhead of a team. Outside his one-turn burst, he's your average saber [but you'll be able to do it again fairly soon].

As said before, Okita is very self-sufficient. Okita can be put in a team focused on having everyone constantly crit with ease, or be left with nobody else to help her to generate stars and still do well; and as one may guess, she can also do the work of merely generating stars and leaving the main damage to someone else, as a support/secondary DPS. She can deal damage in a small burst with her NP, or she can steadily deal damage.

If you have them both, they can work together to some extent, too; Okita does have two buster cards which can help setting a Buster Chain with Rama, and she can generate the star for him and use it herself when his skill is on CD.
