Lava hound is better. I have lava hound and golem, so....

Golem can be targeted by 4 high-damage cards: mini/big PEKKA, skeleton army, barbarians, and minion horde

Lava hound can be only targeted by 1 high damage card: Minion Horde

Plus Lava Hound literally spawns a lava minion horde when it dies while the Golem spawns two little miniature golems.

while the golem can protect ground troops better, Lava hound protects the air troops.

So basically Lava hound is better.
