Do you mean one burst from the GAU-8 Avenger?

I'd take the Avenger, especially if I get Trinium tipped AP-I rounds.

8 rounds from the Avenger is considered enough to kill any tank in the world. A dozen Staff Cannon blasts (Glider weapon) is insufficent to remotely harm a tank.

The Avenger is significantly more powerful then the Staff Cannon.

One Single Round.

The Staff Cannon.

It's a bit hard to carry the GAU-8...

A single DU round from the GAU-8 will cause significant damage to a tank.

I still don't know any real weapon that brings as much weapony-joy to my heart than the GAU-8/A (some stuff brings more non- weapony joy... but for weapony joy? It's pretty much the pinnacle).

So, the A-10 has a far more firepower than the Death Glider.

One attack run of A-10 will be equivalen to 20 Gliders.
