The Adorned Jewel

If you have the currency:

Would you prefer 150% increased Effect of Jewel Socket Passive Skills containing Corrupted Magic Jewels?

Or

75% increased Effect of Jewel Socket Passive Skills containing Corrupted Rare Jewels?

75% increased effect of Corrupted rare jewels is objectively better because rare jewels can be corrupted to have the extra modifier. It also just allows for more flexibility with your jewel mods in general.

I guess the niche exception would be if you are only going for 3 modifiers or less.

Toss up. 75% rare is better for more variety but 150% magics are easier to want to double vaal for more stats. You rarely see corrupted rares its already hard enough to land the perfect mods+perdiv it. I craft perfect rare jewels to resell its pretty low cost but after 100+ divs i wouldnt vaal it to hope for 9% fire res

I think 150 of corrupted magic is better because you can have corrupted implicits buffed by 150

so implicit(s) + 2 mods * 2.5 vs. implicit(s) + 4 mods * 1.75

Rare is generally better for DPS while magic is better for resist stacking (if you’re running something like a high rarity build with Andvarius ring).

GG corrupted rare jewels are also much harder to make, so it’s not just the price of the rare adorned itself.

Magic is better if your pool of mods is limited.

E.g. any bleed/ignite/poison build that doesn't use crits is limited to 1-2 magnitude mods; everything else is secondary.

Also works if your main goal is to stack a specific mod like Increased Area of Effect or Increased Movement Speed. Overall though I would much rather go for the rare variant for more interesting optimization.
