I do not understand math - incarnation boosts TOTAL damage?
Else 150% SD from incarnation = 150% PMSD (if care only about rising sun) from other sources.
Anyway, at lvl 122 i tested both, so far holy has higher lcs damage. One frame less cast speed - yes, but with that rising sun manacost this is 1-second cast spell anyway.
I probably don't know something... ?
It's about damage calculation:
end damage from spell = ( (base spell damage*(% from energy+% from spell focus))*%spell damage from all other items/buffs)*total damage modifiers if have any (like on some sacred uniques)
Wothout counting pierce.
Incarnation giving "item spell damage" like superbeast, bloodlust, etc. while spell focus give total spell damage like energy.
If you have 0 pmsd - then incarnation will give you more but if you have let's say 1000 pmsd - then spell focus+superbeast will give you more. On lvl 122 i'm sure that holy is alot better but at end-game it's not that really good and at uber-end-game unholy will become more useful.
