it depends on the situation, the Naginata has a more effective cutting edge, making it more versatile than a Yari of the same length, but yari were often very long and presumably used in large formations like the European Pike, which would make it a very effective anti-cavalry weapon, though in a one on one encounter on foot the naginata is the superior weapon.

The katana is with out a doubt the primary weapon. The wakizashi was the secondary weapon. But not necessarily. It depends on the era your talking about.

The primary being a bow, naginata, spear, or even a firearm depending on the time & the individual. Durring the Edo period, then yes the katana became more of a primary weapon, since there were virtually no more wars.
