Data Raven is a good piece of defensive ice (with its limits), but it's not something to put in a Weyland deck to tag the Runner, because DR does "end the run" when the Runner wants it, and "Ah, ah, f**k you" when he wants to pass. Does DR tag the Runner by surprised ? Never. For this purpose, Hunter is way more efficient.
However DR is still good in a Weyland deck for its limited (but cheap) defensive value.

How exactly is Hunter better?
If you run on your third click, you just go past it and lose the tag with 4th click. If you run on it on your 4th click, you break the sub and go forward.
Compare it with Data Raven in the same scenario and you will see why it is better.
