I suggest you try out both eventually, the two weapon types compliment each other rather well.
There are runs where Pillar excel at while Cestus may have a harder time performing optimally. Then there are raids where Pillar is extremely lackluster while Cestus performs extremely well.
This is due to Pillar relying on a combo chain where syncing each smash up with the boss attack will lead to his best performance and playstyle. So anything slow and sandbaggy is pillar paradise,. Ex: Havan, Juggernaut, Lako, Eochaid
Cestus on the other hand have shorter and more bursty combos and can make use of attack walk a lot better than Pillar. He can kite significantly better than Pillar as he only needs to go in for the smash and blast to keep his damage up. This makes bosses with extremely quick attacks easier to attack to as you aren't always in their face. So something like Ancient Glas, Iset, Regina tends to be a lot less of a hassle on Cestus.
