As far as I know, evasion skill is FAR better. I have asked numerous people and they all seem to agree that skill points before 59 are worth 3. After 60, they are worth 5. Potentially, that's evasion +35 = evasion skill +7. I was skeptical and tried it with elusive VS evasion earrings. The elusive is nice, but holds NOTHING to evasion earring. You can use the evasion earring much sooner and it is a lot more.
