The numbers I’ve seen:
LFP: mid 90s
Sodium: low to mid 80s

LFP seems better for cars unless you live in an area that deals with extreme cold. Sodium is better (cheaper) for fixed, large quantity storage where energy density is not as critical and lower efficiency is an acceptable trade off for lower price.
