Well first of all, the Enchanted path scales with intelligence and Darkmoon Blade scales with faith. Maybe an Occult weapon would be a better comparison. Either way, i'm pretty sure augmentation will usually win depending on the weapon, because it retains its full physical scale as opposed to being reduced with modification.

Typically it goes that augmentations are better for PvP where spike damage is critical, and modification for PvE where sustainability is a greater concern.
