For right now, my understanding is that the DCT still offers the better experience for high performance driving situations.

As far as fuel efficiency, I don't think there is a vehicle that offers a seven speed DCT and an eight speed planetary box, so it would be difficult to get an apples to apples comparison. Generally, DCT's have gained popularity lately due to being more efficient than a slush box. However there are many variables that could tip that the other way.
