The raider is... better designed, for the lack of a better word. But there is a major advantage to the Tantive. With the eight build and correct setup, it can cripple one section of a raider before it gets a chamce shoot.

But besides that, the raider is superior. As you said, it can continue fighting with it's crippled fore section, with a crippled primary and a secondary weapon. This section then also serves to cover the aft section from frontal attacks and it can be used to ram enemy ships with little consequence.
