TL;DR: Yesteryear and The Messenger both roll the most important perks, but Yesteryear has a stronger origin trait. Yesteryear has an edge over availability as it's in a permanent gamemode that is FTP. However, Yesteryear has 12 perks per column, while The Messenger only has 7.
Yesteryear can roll with a lot of great perks in both columns, including the OP perk Desperado. In column 1, Yesteryear has different perks from The Messenger. Yesteryear can roll with Subsistence, Tunnel Vision, Under Pressure, and Steady Hands in column 1, while The Messenger can roll with Rapid Hit, Encore, Killing Wind, and Moving target in the 1st column. Both can roll Outlaw, which has insane synergy with Desperado. Both roll with the #1 perk Desperado, but if you don't want that for some reason, they have some slight differences. Yesteryear gets Rampage and Dragonfly, while The Messenger gets Kill Clip.
The origin trait is really what sells Yesteryear for me. Yesteryear has Gun & Run and Suros Synergy, while The Messenger has Alacrity and One Quiet Moment. Gun & Run isn't insane, but if you want to have a fast-paced rapid kill game, it's nice. Suros Synergy is something else though. On reload, you get bonus handling and less flinch. This is really strong with Desperado + Outlaw, a reload based combo. Alacrity and One Quiet Moment don't benefit you much, especially OQM, which requires you to be OUT of combat to get the buff. Alacrity only triggers in Rumble or if you're last alive in Survival or Elmination/Trials.
Yesteryear also has another HUGE advantage over The Messenger because it is in Gambit, which is a gamemode that is always available, for free. The Messenger drops in Trials, which is only on the weekend and requires The Witch Queen to access.
But one thing that is bad for Yesteryear is the perk pollution. Yesteryear has 12 perks in the 2 perk columns, meaning the chances of an Outlaw + Desperado roll is 1/144. However, The Messenger has only 7 perks per column, and leads to a 1/49 chance for Outlaw + Desperado. So basically, You are 3x more likely to get a Messenger godroll over a Yesteryear godroll.
