Please help, which raikou?
Two raikous, att/def/hp
1896cp, 15/11/15 (91%) vs
1893cp, 13/15/14 (93%)
The latter has higher overall IV and a much more well rounded distribution of IVs, allowing for more bulk -- but at the cost of two attack points. What do you guys think?
And also, please don't just say "don't level up any of them and just catch another raikou". If I catch another, better raikou I'll power that one up too.

It's close, but I would go for the 15/11/15. Attack IV's count more, not just because of reaching breakpoints at lower levels, but also because the other stats are square-rooted in the damage formula. If the second one were 14/15/14, I'd probably choose that one.
You could try running some Pokebattler simulations against various defenders to compare how they perform.
no hesitate, 15 11 15
13 15 14 will perform worse than 15 11 15 in most cases. Additional 4 points of defense won't reduce damage for you (unless it crosses a defense break point but seldom happens), but additional 1 HP and 2 ATK (resulting in 1 or 2 more damage from Wild Charge) is something you can see for sure.
