Between those 2 options, definitely Angel Ray.
I use it all the time at mini-bosses. It makes things like pap soloing much more efficient, and boss soloing in general. You won't always have to rely on others to kill bosses. Without angel ray, your only other single target attack is magic claw - a first job skill - angel ray is a huge step up from it.
But then, it looks like you're talking about only putting 1 point one of them for now rather than maxing them.
Bahamut is nice for replacing summoning dragon for the few instances where they would be useful, and for the luxury of not having to carry summoning rocks around with you all the time. You should take note of its short timer (15 sec) at level one though.
Overall, bahamut is almost useless. It doesn't help with training, because you'll still kill the spawn in the same number of hits. At skeles, it unneccessarily aggros the skeles around you, making them buff up earlier than usual and blast you for its 3.5k laser beam. At bosses that you can attack at, angel ray does better damage; and at party-oriented bosses, it still does minimal damage and plently of people don't like it when you summon it because it blocks out/covers up other people, making it harder to navigate/see where you are.
If we're talking about builds including your other skills, max mw, a level of gene enough to 2hit (or max if you can afford it), and max res are very important.
