it depends on the situation, the Naginata has a more effective cutting edge, making it more versatile than a Yari of the same length, but yari were often very long and presumably used in large formations like the European Pike, which would make it a very effective anti-cavalry weapon, though in a one on one encounter on foot the naginata is the superior weapon.
