Indeed, the EQD Spatial Delivery rarely seems to be mentioned.
I use it more with my guitar than with my bass, but I like it a lot.

Best Phaser for Funk?

Would love to hear a bass demo combining the spatial delivery and grand orbiter before I plop down the cash but no luck so far
This! ^^ Like a giant space bulldozer.
Add some chorus or delay to really take it over the top!
For slapping and over the top funkiness, the Homebrew Electronics Psilocybe has been my go-to phaser for years.
Currently I have maybe 20 different phasers. I have several phase 90 clones that I built and I really like them too, both Script and Block variants. There is a Script version, a modified MXR Phase 100 and the Psilocybe on my board right now.
Another great option is the Mojo Hand FX Mister-O Phaser. It is an attempt at recreating the Maestro Phasers and it's awesome. Definitely a different flavor than the MXR or EXH phasers. Excellent for getting funky, especially after a little OD or fuzz.

I've owned around 30 or so phasers over the years, and for funk I personally prefer 6 stage phasers.
Of your two options I'd say the Warm Audio would be my choice. But another very cheap option is the EHX Bad Stone.
An envelope phaser might also be worth checking out. It looks like it's discontinued now, but the Pigtronix Bass Envelope Phaser or their big box envelope phaser might work well for you.

I just took delivery of a Polaron and have to agree. I love the pedal, but I see it more as a studio piece than a live piece. I will say though that it is highly tweakable and interactive so that tune knob has the ability to bring back in a lot of punch. But you are correct when you say that the effected sound is always slightly lower than the bypass.
