Dash and Monero have similar marketcaps right now.
I have heard that Monero has better anonymity than Dash with it's masternode setup.
What reasons do you guys suggest to use Dash instead of Monero, from a general user's point of view.
Why is Dash better than Monero if it is at all?
Both have advantages and disadvantages. Dash can scale to mass adoption levels fully decentralized at the protocol level and monero/zcash/btc can't.
Privacy only coins have their uses though, like having value as a Darknet currency, offshore type investment or money laundering on the fly. There is money to be made there but they can never scale to Digital Cash status like Dash, that is where the real money will be.
Dash's anon has also never been broken like other coins and its off-chain mixing is future proofed from Quantum computing which will eventually deanonymize the past of on-chain anon coins like monero etc.

Monero has had a few issues with their privacy tech in the past but claim it is all fixed now. If you are real paranoid the best thing to do would be to use Dash, monero and zcash (on-chain/off-chain) all together, I prefer monero over zcash because of the trusted setup issues. I would hold in Dash at the end though. For me, all I use is Dash for privacy.

http://www.monerolink.com, where you can link all transactions from 2014-2016 with 100% (due to blockchain timing analysis apparently), and all transactions from 2016-2017 are linkable with a probabilistic distribution dependent on mixin size. So they have a table on the site, 1 mixin transactions are linkable 86% of the time, 10+ mixin transactions are linkable 22% of the time. Monero has fixed this bug since January of this year, but if you used monero on a DNM between 2014-Jan 2017, BEWARE!
