As far as the question goes, Dave is definitely more underrated than Big Boi or Outkast as a whole.
Buuut I'm going to play Devil's advocate and say...neither, Prince Poetry is pretty underrated in my opinion.

Back when this place had about 20-25 active users yogurT was brought up quite a few times, often comparing him to Phife, QTip, Kool Keith or Pos.
I don't think I saw a question directly questioning Prince Po vs another rapper, even though he's on par with Pharoahe Monch.
Big Boi, isn't a secondary at all, he picks up the slack and compliments 3K. Big Boi has a booming voice and better flow than 3K in my honest opinion.
Same goes with De La, yogurT picks up the slack from Pos by putting out various topics whether it's racial, political, or just plain spitting, I think Pos was a little more aggressive than yogurT - not in the sense of a battle rapper but it was definitely noticeable.

Probably Dave because I've at least seen Big Boi be in some GOAT discussions. Not many but definitely more than Dave. To be completely honest, I don't even think I've ever seen Posdnuos in a GOAT discussion. But if I did, it must have been an very long time ago and I don't remember.
BQ1: Best album: 3 Feet High & Rising
Best song: Stakes is High (I had to throw some Dilla bias in here lol)
BQ2: Best album: Aquemini
Best song: Liberation

Probably Dave because 99% of all people don't give a **** about him and include him any list. Even when people think about him, they might put him up there for a week because they just listened to a De la Soul album before forgetting him again. Still, I find it less frustrating than people underrating Big Boi when he produced one of the best modern southern hip hop albums in SLLF.
BQ: De La Soul is Dead
BQ2: Skew it to the Bar-B is my favorite/ATLiens best album
