Elekid or Electabuzz?

Which should I evolve to Electivire?
1: Elekid L20
2: Electabuzz L15
Both have the same IVs (15/15/14).

Is candy/stardust an issue? Elekid has marginally more trade value for someone trying to fill out their lucky-dex.

It'll cost 123 candy to evolve the Elekid and have a level 20 Electivire.
It'll cost 99 candy to evolve the Electabuzz, then 21k dust and 20 candy to power it up to a level 20 Electivire.

Do you value 21k dust or 4 Electabuzz candy more? Evolve Elekid if you value the dust.

You can get a second charge move on Elekid for cheap, which will stay when you evolve it. Only problem is that Electivire only has Electric-type charge moves, but with Thunder Punch to break the shields and Wild Charge to do damage, you can take down Pokémon pretty quickly.
If you evolve your Elekid, it won't be able to go in the Great League (it'll be about 1755 CP). If you power it up to level 28/28.5 it'll be a good mon for the Ultra League.

Note that it is cheaper to get double charge moves on Elekid! Then evolve.
