Assuming you can use any of Raid Akainu or Raid Chopper specials, yes, Raid Akainu is much better because his special stacks with STR boost and Orb boost (but it will be hard to stall 32 turns in a regular raid or colo).

Croc poison deals 5x his attack each turn. Magellan one starts at 0.5x his attack but triples each turn until 1 500 000 (after around 10 turns depending on his level and CC). If you think you will deal the poison more than 3 turns, Magellan is better. If not, croc is better.

Concerning books, you will get many when you will start to farm colos. Since you got Cat Viper, you should try to max Raid Aokiji and Colo Smoker as soon as possible since they will be his core team. If you can farm them efficiently (win at least 3/4 times, you can go for it).

Note that you also have Zeo who is a very good Striker (2.5 chain locker and helps with perfects). Moreover, since Cat Viper is also Powerhouse, Zeo allows to resist blindness, which is always welcome.
