Re: Gyarados or Salamence?
Depends on the rest of your team really, but since I personally think Salamence is overrated go with Bulky G-Dos xD
It can be more supportive of the team so long as you have something to check its own weaknesses, and its bulk allows for safer DDing making it a fast hitter that can take hits just as well^^
Salamence can hit harder and faster, but wont be able to last quite as long. Its only use of support is its Intimidate, and with dragons still ruling the metagame everyone carries a few ice type attacks. Electric type moves are common too, but since Gyarados is now a little less prepared for its a little less likely. People would be using grass type moves for bulky waters, neglecting the bulky gyara.
Its still all in preference and what your team could use. I usually go with the 'safer' pokemon that can easily set up rather then praying that DD goes over well without you getting KOed, but sometimes the risky approach is useful too.

Re: Gyarados or Salamence?
I definately agree with the g-dos. when that gets enough dragon dances it sweeps with ease. salamence can't take ice moves worth crap. even with a yache berry, takes a while to set upa good dragon dance, 2 hits and you're done. you are better off with a g-dos =)
Re: Gyarados or Salamence?
I'm still tempted to make a possible roosting DD G-dos xD
Tanks, Attacks, and HEALZ! ohnoez
