People here really underestimate Iva and it is quite funny.
The only real argument. would be that Kuma knew about Luffy being Dragon's son before Iva.
Iva stayed in Impel Down gathering an army that would eventually implode it and join the main forces, but, by their reaction to Kuma in Marineford, they had no idea about Kuma's mission. At the same time, neither did Sabo nor the other revo commanders seemed to know that as well.
Sabo rescued Kuma out of sentimentalism.
Having said that, is not unusual to give secret missions to people. It doesn't necessarily mean that you trust that person more, but more often that you think said person is better suited for the job.
Eventually it all boils down to "who do you like more between these 2" than an actual fact.
Shaka makes no distinction between Iva and Kuma, Iva herself was on a solo mission for Dragon as much as Kuma, and you can just give arguments in favor of both of them.
So just chill and remember that, today, Sabo is the number 2 anyway.

There is no comparison to be made.
Iva is great and really close to Dragon but it can’t be above Kuma.
Even today Kuma stays relevant to the plot (Vegapunk, Bonney, seraphims, new race etc etc)
