Not saying your wrong cause I am unsure at the moment, but Bendis wrote that story, and I have found he is notorius for depowering Spider-man, also loves Spider-man loosing his mask in a fight and whining not that that has anything to do here I'm just saying...
Anyway the Spider-sense is very effective in some areas and not so much in another. For example if someone had a gun and was planning to do something bad with it, Peter would get a light tingle letting him o something bad is happening, occasionly directing him to where it is but not always. Its also been known to let him know if someone is lieing or even just a particulary bad person. Then if someone pointed a gun at Peter in an attempt to shoot him he would instantly know he was in dager where the danger was coming from and where to move to get to saftey, also the more danger he is in the more his reflexes go onto automatic so he dosn't have to think to get out of the way. The only downside to all that is that he dosn't actualy know what the danger is more of how the danger would effect him.
The Radar sense I would say lets DD know exactly what is going on around him, it will let him know where the potential danger is coming from etc, the only downside is that Matt himself has to determain where to move to get to saftey. But the radar sense is far more effectve than the Spider-sense in locating and or identifing a single person.
As for the weakness's DD's are alot easier to exploit for example a very loud sound can screw the radar sense up.
While Spider-man's SS requires either mysticle forces, special gas's (like the one's Green Goblin and Mysterio use) But the simplest from of tricking the Spider-sense is to for example lure Spidey into a room and plant bombs everywhere that way his SS is going off all the time and he can't actualy pinpoint danger because its in every direction.
All in all I'd say the SS was much better suited for combat as its harder to overcome even though it has more weakness's but they are harder to aquire, and the radar sense is more effective in hunting down and pinpointing potential threats,
To be honest I'd make this a 50/50 split.
