It's a close call - I voted Lucky, just because I think it's a little more stylish, and 'wild-west'. Maria is probably better in combat due to the much larger clip size and faster reloading. I did pick 'fast loader' perk though because I knew I would want to use a lot of pistols.
I haven't used either much yet, having acquired them both recently. In fact, I went on a bit of a quest - also have the Mysterious Magnum (does about 5 million dmg I think, and the animation makes it look like your arm is going to fly off due to recoil. Not to mention it plays music when you draw it!) and That Gun. My favorite is actually That Gun, even though it is probably the worst ......but it's still good. Small clip, but pretty fast reload, and it's from Blade Runner. I probably make things harder on myself by using it more than I should, against tougher opponents (went to Black Mountain for the first time.......I think I'll go back with a ginormous rifle next time....). Not to mention my character just has 3 str (based on, you guessed it, Doc Holliday, who was sickly, but very fast and accurate), but I took weapon handling last level, so now just 1 pt away from str requirement. Good thing he's an alcoholic --- +1 str - so he is actually more accurate when a bit tipsy!
As for scopes, on pistols at least, I guess they are good for accuracy, but I find them distracting if I'm in the middle of a medium range combat. The view change throws me off.
