Torn between 2 builds

I've been working on my fire/fire blaster and can't seem to decide on the best way to build this guy, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Below are two builds that are similar in power picks, but totally different in IO bonuses.

The first one is geared towards basic defense and is fairly inexpensive... nothing flashy there. However, the second one is built for insane accuracy/recharge/regeneration and will put a hurt on the 'ol wallet... but nothing worth doing is ever cheap, right?

So my question is, which one do you think is more survivable and what can be improved upon in either build?
