The thing is that more bosses have thermal resistance (Wicker, Necro spawn, Loaders and i think mech have a bit) while only 2 bosses are resistant to chemical damage

Stripper can also fight any zombie critters you encounter, and is more for general purposes. HIKS serves only for bosses, certain bloaters and Purge nests

I prefer the stripper not because it is stronger than the HIKS but because you can use it for most things, even hordes, while HIKS just can't fight hordes

granted, Stripper can get you cornered because the main damage source comes in gradually, not like HIKS, where one shot takes cares of stuff right away
