Is Thunder Cage better in PvE or PvP?

In raids and gyms the move has 220 power for 100 energy over 3.5s. In GO Battle League it uses 60 power for 40 energy. It also has a stat-changing effect that only applies in PvP. The two sets of numbers are independent, so read the PvE block for raids and the PvP block for GO Battle League.
