Granite will weather more slowly, since it is an igneous rock and is extremely resistant to weathering.
Since granite is an igneous rock this makes it highly resistant to weathering. Therefore, granite will weather more slowly than limestone.
I'll say granite because the limestone as you know, is faster to it's weathering.
Rate od reaction would depend on:Concentration )pH) of the acid rainMaterial of construction of the statue (Limestone significant impact, granite none)The average temperatureThe exposure to wind, rain and sunshine (to heat the statue)Any preservative measures used as maintenance
because marble reacts with acid, therefore granite is a better solution for a city centre statue
Carbon dioxide is produced.

Marble is more sensible.
Granite is nice to have for counter tops and bathroom counters, but it is not particularly special. The Statue of liberty sits on a pedestal made of granite.
it is made out of copper but the statue's pedestal is made of concrete covered by blocks of granite.
Limestone ststues are soft while marble statues are hard and durable.Now you know which is better.
