Until they make /dark available to controllers, there's really no difference except that Sonic has the cage available six levels earlier. I've played a grav/sonic to 38. I played him to 22 with the pair of cages (intang). And respecced him AND paid to change his name, in the hopes of salvaging the character into something interesting to play.|

It would be unfair for me to hold back that: ugh. This build is painfully boring and ineffective. The same will be true for grav/FF of course.
Still, I would prefer sonic to FF, mainly because of (the end hog that is) sonic disruption. It's at least an aggressive bit. Weak controls + defensive secondary is sadsauce.
... Although. I suppose that if you last this long, it might be amusing to repulsion bomb + wormhole clusters of bosses. >_<

In terms of maximizing returns, I would go with Force Field.
Sonic isn't terrible, but IMO the +Defense from Force Field is better than Sonic's +Resistance. Especially since if you really want +Resistance you can go with Thermal Radiation and lose almost nothing except the AoE mezz protection.
Force Field offers you Personal Force Field for emergencies, great +Defense on allies and the pet, and an AoE stun to stack with Wormhole. As a Gravity/FF you also get the unique advantage of being able to immobilize enemies and still knock them back with Force Bolt to position them exactly where you want them. Also, as a FF you will need to expend fewer slots than the very endurance heavy Sonic, leaving you more slots to invest in your primary.
