It is all preference really. They are about the same in price.
The Vaporshark gives you a magnetic battery door, high speed charging, wireless charging, protective skins. It is small and more compact. The firing button is bigger. Only con is screen is on the bottom which isn't a big deal really. There has been issues with the rDna 40 big screens but I have spoke to Evolv and Vaporshark and can confirm the glitches are out now in the newest batch. As for warranty you do get a longer warranty on the Hana and the Hana is made in the US while Vaporshark has a US Chip and company but units are not assembled here.
Hana has screws which most people don't like. If you get a V4D Hana you get dual 18650 which could be a selling point for you. I haven't seen any protective silicone sleeves for the Hana like the Vaporshark has. I have had 3 Vaporsharks and sent them all back due to a glitched screen which like I said has been fixed now. If you have $300 you could always go for the Vaporflask. I have a Vaporflask and Shark and like both equally. I perfer my Flask slightly because of the Dual batteries and how it fits in hand. The flask has it's issues as well don't get me wrong.
If I was deciding between the Hana and Vaporshark I would go with the Vaporshark.

I'll do some of the pros and cons for each and you can weigh what is important to you
Vaporshark $189
Pros:
1) Magnetic Battery Door
2) Comes with LG HE2 18650
3) Zip Charging (Can charge a dead battery in 1.5 to 2 hours)
4) Wireless charging
5) Protective Skins
6) Small and compact and has a good deal of heft to it
7) Bigger Screen
8) 120 Day Warranty
9) Rubberized finish
Cons:
1) Older big screen versions have had screen glitches (New ones are fixed)
2) If you aren't using a skin the finish isn't as durable
3) Screen is on the bottom (Not really a con but could be)
4) More desirable so longer wait times
Hana $179 $209 for Dual Battery
Pros:
1) 1 year warranty
2) Made in the US
3) Aluminum Finish
4) USB charging (Not as fast as the Vaporshark and can take 4 to 5 hours)
5) Range of colors
6) Dual battery if you opt for V4D
7) Screen is easy to see
8) Fits nice in hand
Cons:
1) Screws (I hate screws)
2) No protective sleeves but you can get a wrap
3) Smaller screen
4) Finish can scratch and wear easy
5) Small firing buttons
Vaporflask $299
Pros:
1) Form Factor (Fits contour of hand)
2) Made in the US
3)180 Day Warranty
4) Dual Battery
5) Easy to see screen (Right on top, I think this is the best screen of the 3)
6) USB charging (Slower with 2 18650 if you charge that way)
7) Aluminum finish
8) Some places on ESTY offer a case/holder for protection
9) Vaporflask gives you a loaner if you send your unit in
Cons:
1) Price
2) If you charge USB the USB port is a little wobbly
3) Sometimes the up or down button is more recessed then the other so they aren't flush
4) Some have reported scratches on their new unit or bad quality

I would go with the company that can either repair or replace your mod should something go wrong.
I've heard enough stories about "premium" brand e-cigs to know that not all companies will do the right thing.
How you work that out is more difficult, I guess.

If you're gonna spend that amount of money, I would buy an SX Mini. $189 and better than all of those mentioned, in my opinion. I prefer the Yihi chip to the dna, but once again, just my opinion.
Yeah they look nice I just don't like them buttons. I'm sure you have button rattle huh?

I've heard really nice things about the SX Mini but if he gets that, I would probably go with the M Class.

What kind of build are you using for your Hana?I love my Hana Modz V4m. IMO much better quality device and materials used than VS. I have used both and prefer Hana Modz.

Can't go wrong with a flask either.

On mine I use a single coil 28 gauge wrap @ 2.0 ohms! Crazy right? This thing chucks though!

Actually, looks are deceiving. There is absolutely no button rattle. Honestly, the SX-Mini is the most solid-feeling piece of vape gear I've ever personally held. It just screams "well-built". The new M-class has temp control, but if you're not interested in that, then the S-class is straight VW. Man, I love this mod.
I'd take a Hana over the VS without having to think it over. They really need to learn about magnets though.
I'm using a Lemo Drop .18ohm ni200. I prefer to use TC now. Flavor IMO is so much better than kanthal.
Good rundown here. I would add another con, if you decide to go with dual batteries, is you need to marry to fresh batteries to each other, which means you will more than likely need 2 sets used exclusively for that mod.
My vote would be the rDNA, especially now that they have the buggy screens worked out.
