Either combo will be fine solo, but I think Dark will probably be best suited. Fearsome Stare, Darkest Night, Tar Patch etc are all great solo & team tools.
I would recommend looking at Silas' guide for advice on how to play either of those secondaries. (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=196722)
For Radiation Blast, I would recommend picking up your Tier 1 & 2 blasts, (at least for the lower levels) and probably 2 out of the 3 AoEs. Electron Haze could be useful solo but the KB will annoy teams when you're doing SFs. Aim and the Nuke are personal preference.
Hope that helps,
Tux.
EDIT: If you're not fixed on Rad as primary, Ice is good for the ST holds if you solo a lot, and Fire is great upfront damage which is always welcome on teams.

Favourite Toons: Prosper [Ill/Rad] Controller :: Infinitus [Fire/Elec] Blaster :: Pocket Dynamo [Fire/Shield] Scr :: Fast [Cold/Sonic] Def ::
Inspire [Plant/Storm] Controller :: Quality - SS/Fire Brute :: Double Down [DP/Kin] Corr :: Pwnz [Fire/Cold] Corr :: Fail [Fire/Son] Corr
IMO Rad/Dark.

I just hit 50 with my rad/kin and finished slotting him last week and I have a rad/dark coming up the ranks too (the rad/dark leveling for PvP). If you love playing a kin and primarily want to solo high level stuff, I would definitely suggest the rad/kin. I primarily went for AoE damage and that thing is a beast on the ITF. Of course, everyone loves the Kin buffs on any team or SF.
My PvE build on my rad/dark is primarily a team build to take advantage of all the awesome debuffs in Dark Miasma. If you want to solo with a ""/dark corruptor, then fire/dark is definitely the one to go with. It's awesome right out of the box. (Silas also has an cool Fire/Dark guide too!) I find the Rad/Dark to be better suited toward team play.
If you would like to see my rad/kin corruptor build, please feel free to send me a pm.
Have fun!

For primarily solo, Rad/Dark will suite you better. Rad/Kin is an excellent combo, but Kin really benefits from teams more then dark. Dark gives you lots of control and damage mitigation, as well as the -damage resistance from Tar Patch.
candlestick and TFury are right on.
Rad/Kin is awesome, i leveled a kin/rad def to 50, loved it so much i turned around and did rad/kin cor, but it's VERY low mitigation, very FAST action, edge of your seat kinda play.
Rad/Dark is safer, solo or teamed, no question, and it's alot of fun as well, great bag of tricks. you'll get to 50 just the same, but you prolly won't have the damage taken badge 
so it really depends on the playstyle you like, fast n furious = rad/kin, slower, safer, more tactical = rad/dark. either way you really don't go wrong.
Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.
screw your joke, i want "FREEM"
I've been looking around have haven't found any topic on rad/kin combo. I never played Rad/ and I thought a corrupter would be a good place to start one.
My problem is that i'm not sure which secondary would go well with it. I was thinking /Kin since the def debuff of Rad would make most of my kin accuracy check easier and the +dmg in FS is just simply amazing . But then I thought that /Dark -resist, -dmg would also help a lot and the +def of shadow fall would allow me to reach the defense soft-cap faster.
So my question is which would be the "best" combo if i'm planning to primarily solo, with occasional SF?
I've played kin before and currently have a lvl 30 dark MM but i'm not sure how well Rad would be paired with them. If another secondary is better let me know also
