Yeah both classes are quite fun. Black Mage is the "All Round" class with good single target and AoE DPS while also being able to put out good burst and sustained damage. It isn't the best as any category but it is solid in all of them.
Summoner is the single target sustained damage class. While it DOES have AoE, the radius is pathetically short and really need a buff, especially Bane.
Honestly the Damage classes are very well balanced. Running a parser in most of my fights reveals that all the classes have a very similar DPS output with Dragoon and Monk being slightly ahead, but we are talking about all the DD classes being within about 5% of each other here.
Basically there is no "best" DPS class due to the game being very well balanced, so play what you have fun playing and practise
