Which damage type do you prefer, disruptor or phaser?

I prefer phaser, but if you want tippy tops DPS you'll get a MW/Intel ship that can run dual cannons and use Spiral Wave disruptors along with the TTF rep DHC. This is why the Vaadwaur juggernaut and Inquiry are still tops for DEW builds.

Are spiral waves available in dual cannons?

Yup, they sure are.

Ok nice. Been thinking about grabbing the cardassian flight deck for the trait, spirals, and to have a decent carrier.

FYI if you get the bundle, it includes a bundle-only T5 Galor Cruiser, and upon first claim of that per character, you get 4 free purple infinity (upgradeable) spiral wave arrays.
