I thought you were asking about who would win in a fight when I clicked the topic at first. In that case, the Erinyes would win hands down, it being specialized in combat and immune to the Succubus' dominate person.
If the thought of them fighting is your thing, who am I to comment...

Crap. I thought I had deleted that in time. Realized it would actually be closer than I thought.
As to who's hotter, it's a matter of personal taste.

Well, they're both hot, but as the characters in one of my PbPs found out, an erinyes' hotness is incidental to her true prowess.
The reason why the succubus scores higher on the Charisma meter than even the nymph is because in order to tempt and corrupt you, they'll actually do the dirty deeds on your mind (the nymph is just a tease).
The erinyes? Yeah, if you're lucky they'll flash you a smile and laugh gleefully as they eviscerate you for mistaking them for a slut...

I was thinking Erinyes, but your comment isn't much of a selling point. The whole marrying one seems a better deal than the Succubus, an Erinyes would adhere to the letter of the marriage contract, but the bit that may cause issues is "until death do you part".

Just include a clause in the contract (with very careful wording and the help of a high level lawyer) that can bring you no harm. (Obviously I'm simplifying the clause, but you get the point.)

Succubus by far.. Succcubi can be blatantly obvious or sly and charming. They are like the evil female version of James Bond. The erinyes seem to wooden and borning. All vengeance all the time. I can't imagine an erinyes being sublte or coy at all. I certainly don't imagin them trying to flatter or deceive you. Succubus is better hands down because she can be more flexible. (Both in and out of combat. : ) )

And what makes you think they don't have Asmodeus's law firm on retainer? Do you really think humans can beat Hell on a pre-nup?
As for the question posed, I'd say it depends on your preference/mood.
Got a thing for fallen angels/rough stuff ==> Erinyes all the way.
Looking for something a little softer or pillow talk ==> a Succubus is the girl for you.

Live and learn, it doesn't take long to figure out not to pick the succubus, no matter how alluring she may appear. Or for some people it doesn't take long, I can't say I learned this particular lesson quickly or easily.

i have not neccessarily a fallen angel fetish as much as a desire to watch and tempt an angel towards the path of falling. i like them to still be lawful good before i corrupt them, it's much more rewarding that way. feathery wings are hotter than leathery ones too. i like my angels just beginning to fall, right when they are still innocent on the inside and accidentally made thier first minor transgression. best time to corrupt them. right when they don't understand the rewards of wrong doing, right when they only understand thier god's teachings after a sheltered religious life. perfect time to corrupt an angel. i also like watching her slowly fall from grace before my eyes.

I get in enough trouble now when I forget the milk. Actually I should really check I don't already live with an Erinyes! Note to shelf, check for wing clippers in the bathroom.
Anyone want to trade an Erinyes for a Succubus?
:)
+1. Not looking to trade though. I need the structure. -=)

Professor has a point though. i mean everyone obviously not already a devils puppet know succubi are far far better. It's kinda like asking would you rather have a soft kiss on the lips or a stick in your eye. :)
I think I'm detecting a bias.
And let's put this in context. Stick, what d3 hp damage, soft kiss from a Succubus, bye-bye levels. Decisions, decisions.

Yes but a stick in the eye is a critical hit, so it's 2d3 hp damage, more than enough to kill me, since I'm a 1st-level hemophiliac (my hp will fall into the negatives, and I will auto-fail all my stabilisation checks). :P

Erinyes all the way for me; those obsidian wings are ridiculously hott, and the scars and other imperfections enhance their looks. The too-perfect Succubus would creep me out. Plus the Erinyes look like the type who'd be working all the time, and as a busy guy myself I can respect someone with a solid career. :-p
Paladins or rogues, which one is hunkier?
Paladins are hunkier, but rogues are sexier. I don't go for the dark, mysterious bad boys though so I'd have to take Paladins. My taste in men is not the same as my taste in women. Really I'd prefer a Ranger, but that wasn't an option.
I'll happily objectify everyone. ;-)

Let me clarify my statement, I suppose, by broadening the opening question:
Paladins or rogues, which one is hunkier?
Fit rogues hands down, bad boys always win for sex appeal. Plus they will do the dirty deed anytime. :)
Now there are few things more satisfying than seducing a paladin to fall. :)

Erinyes, hands down.
Why? If you actually GOT an Erinyes to fall in love with you, as an adventurer, there would be nothing more awesome than channeling her need for vengeance and bloodshed for the forces of good. I mean, it's not like she can't revel in battle against demons (which she hates) and other hideous monstrosities that would be plaguing the land.
Then, you, as her compatriot, would fight along side her in glorious battle! And then, as the two of you emerge, victorious in combat, you pass each other a glance, and retreat from the field, knowing the two of you were made to be battle mates.
Because nothing says sexy like a woman that can kick someone's butt and still come away from it looking hot.
Also, nothing says sexy like a woman who DOESN'T kill you with every kiss.
...
I'll be in my bunk.

This wins the internet today.
Also: Succubi are hotter.
Erinyes might not kill you with kisses, but that's mostly because she'll kill you with fire arrows a lot faster. Erinyes aren't seducers—they're assassins, after all.

If it comes down to weighing in on it...
I took a look at both pages to remind myself of their general stats and fluff associated. (Side note: The d20pfsrd succubus image isn't even work safe. Point for Succubi)
If you can make your will saves and have the intestinal fortitude to stomach being food, there's not really any downside to dating a succubus. I mean yeah, she's chaotic evil, but she's the fluffy part of chaotic evil that says 'you should do whatever you want if it feels good or gains you power.' Don't give in to the temptation to place 'wanton slaughter' with 'feels good or gains you power,' and all should be well! (Also, +2 main stat if you can get her to commit. Can't argue with that.) Downside, you're probably not the only thing she lusts on.
Erinyes are much more willing to commit, but they also are agents of battle and like hitting things with swords and bows. Additionally, I am not into that whole 'animate rope' thing. I like taking my move actions and my standards, if you know what I mean. (Never use a swift action with a lady, though. That's just rude.)
I'd have to say that if you can deal with the downside of shagging one (And bear in mind that if there's no kissing then doing the deed is most likely only done act of passion--subject to GM ruling) I'd prefer the succubus.
Oh, right. And if you DO find yourself in the position to make it with either one, it is considered rude to cast protection from evil before the act occurs. Hell doesn't use protection.

You, sir, have just won this thread. It's over.
Also, does anyone else feel that, with all the X Monster vs. Y Monster threads, we should make a show not unlike the History Channel's "The Deadliest Warrior"? Just call it "The Deadliest Monster", switch a few names around, and you're good to go! (on a side note, the Pathfinder version would PROBABLY have much more legitimate science than that used on the real show O_O)

Huzzah!
If we did the deadliest monster, we'd definitely use more legitimate science to determine who would win. Ours is based in actual math.
I move that the first round be goblin versus kobold.
