Nowadays these two clearly seem to be the typical gimmick of the strongest characters. You have one of these two branches of power, or you don't matter at the highest levels.
Yonkos, Admirals, top members of the Supernovas, top members of the Shichibukai, past legends like Roger, Rayleigh, Whitebeard and Garp. They all use either Adv CoC Haki or DF Awakening.*
* Some are unconfirmed but hey you can be sure that they have. Garp didn't have a DF or a weapon but was on the same level of Roger and Whitebeard: only Adv CoC could make that possible, and especially when Garp's son has CoC and Garp's nephew has CoC and Adv CoC.
If Zoro has CoC and Adv CoC, and states that he needs to be a King on his own in order to become the World Strongest Swordsman, you can bet that the Current WSS Mihawk has as well. Especially when Mihawk equally rivals with CoC and Adv CoC user Shanks from the Yonkos.
Same goes for Rayleigh. If Luffy + Zoro, Pirate King and King of Hell, have CoC and Adv CoC, you can bet Roger + Rayleigh, Pirate King and Dark King, shared the same powers as well.
If the Admirals are as strong and as hyped as they are because of their Devil Fruits, and after what we witnessed to be the mere after effects of their battle in Punk Hazard, it seems crazy to think that they of all people would not have DF Awakening.
Both powers are hella impressive, but there seems to be a constant portrayal of Advanced Conqueror being at least slightly greater than Devil Fruit Awakening.
After all, the latter is something that can be used by Doflamingo, someone who is far, far weaker than top tiers; and there are hints that characters like Crocodile and Perospero can do this as well. Katakuri uses this and while strong, is still far from being a top tier. While the weakest character that can use Adv CoC is Yamato, someone who is still at least as strong as Katakuri, if not, most likely, a tier above.
Also, you could say that Doflamingo and even Katakuri, in spite of having both a DF and CoC, manager to unlock Awakening but not Adv CoC; that might suggest something, but it's still worth note.
Even some statements seem to suggest that Adv CoC is more impressive. Luffy as Conqueror receives more hype than DF user Law. Kaido basically states that the ones who can use Adv CoC are top tiers, calling that a power that "only a handful of the strongest can".
You could say that DF Awakening is used by characters of very different levels of strength; while about Adv CoC, anyone who uses it is a Low Top Tier at least, like 1010 Luffy, Current Zoro and Yamato.
Basically, not all the top tiers use Adv CoC (some use DF Awakening); but the ones who use Adv CoC are top tiers. This seems an irrefutable staple.
Well.
