The debate of Earth vs Burn for Stamina is kind of iffy, but Earth does have more defensive capabilities too. Is it because Burn is larger, like Phantom? Or maybe because it can KO Stamina types easier?
Burn has more solo-spin stamina (which is important, since against customs that this would be trying to OS, you're essentially solo-spinning while tornado stalling), and it has far more attack (which is the second key point of this custom, since it's designed to KO a given stamina custom it can't reliably OS).
It's the exact same reason why I use Phantom instead of Duo in MF-L Phantom Cygnus 85MF; Phantom (or Burn in this case) brings a lot more to the table.
