NW or Bane?
They are both mainly disruption toons. A pimped out fort is nigh unkillable. A well built bane can be a pain spamming webnades all over. I would recommend doing both. I would do the bane first if you are on a budget. Fort first if you have deep pockets.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

well i've actually already got a bane at 50 but unslotted and am playing the NW up right now. I'm more or less broke redside though so this is essentially when i can switch them over to pimp slot them.

I would never sink huge money into a bane. Its not really needed to do what it does.

well im going by a build that mac, i think, made a while back with afew tweaks to cap percep. which isn't horribly expensive but more than I have.

this is a NW build I came up with, im sure there is something wrong with it, especially since i haven't fully played one yet but go ahead and rip it apart.

Been trying to decide which to make since both do fairly well in PvE but was wondering the difference since i've seen more bane than NW/forts in zones (although that isn't really saying much since i haven't seen many banes). so im wondering if one fairs better than the other, or if it matters since both get shatter.
