Breloom vs Hariyama- which is better?

What are you thinking about new fighter mons? Which in your opinion is better and why. And the most important; if one is better than Machamp. I think Breloom is better for gym cleaning (glass cannon), when Hariyama is better for raids (good dmg and really big survivability), when Machamp is something between them.

Hand up- Breloom better,
Hand down- Hariyama better.

I don't think either of them are better than Machamp, and with Blaziken not having a fighting-type charge move, Machamp still seems like the premier Fighting Pokemon in all situations.

I'd rather have Hariyama for clearing gyms since it'll do more total damage before fainting. There's no way a Breloom takes out a full motivation Blissey before fainting.

I'd still choose Machamp over either though. I don't think 7 attack is worth losing 60 stamina over.

Breloom: +7 attack, -9 defense, -60 stamina

Breloom is losing a lot and not gaining very much in return. I don't see much reason to invest in Breloom.

Hariyama: -25 attack, -48 defense, +108 stamina

Hariyama is losing attack and defense, but at least gaining a lot of stamina which will improve energy gain. I'll probably still use Machamp or maybe a sunny-day boosted Moltres/Entei against Blissey and Snorlax, but Hariyama can fill a supporting role against additional pokemon weak to fighting.
