Even without Super Saiyan, He gets 117% while Trunks gets 100%, and 110% with super saiyan. They also have the same 12 ki multiplier and SA modifier, and Gotenks even has a much larger ATK stat. so unless there's some hidden calculations I don't know about, Gotenks will hit harder. And while Trunks does link much better, Gotenks makes up for it at least partially. by providing support to other units.

I can see why putting him in the first slot could cause you a bit more damage, but I feel like that's a minor nitpick, really. You'll always have at least one unit in a rotation that's defenseless, and in most events enemies attack so often you can't really control anything. An enemy attacking 3 times or more in one slot is not incredibly common, and in that case it's just bad luck, and nobody can control that. Besides, in an emergency you can still take him out of the first slot with only minor consequences compared to failing an event.
