Assuming your elite damage is added together as a single multiplier, the same as elemental skill damage, they're both very similar in terms of damage versus elites. The determining factor would be the existing amount of each stat on your gear.
For example: If you have 20% bonus damage to elites and 50% bonus lightning damage, you'd do more damage versus elites by getting 10% more elite damage instead of 10% more lightning damage.
However, the difference will be relatively small (a few % points), and elite damage only works against elites. If the amount of bonus damage were the same, I'd choose elemental damage. If the amount is higher for elites, however, I'd consider elites.
In the specific example of Odyn Son vs Sun Keeper, I'd probably use the Odyn Son for the proc as well as the bonus damage vs. white mobs.

For the Whirlwind build with shard of hate, is +1% elite damage better than +1% lighting damage aganist elite now?
confused about choosing one between Odyn Son and Sunkeeper as a main hand.
