Well, Repulsion Field and Personal Force Field have completely different uses and effects. PFF is there mostly so that you can have a chance to recover safely in the middle of a fight, especially if you're solo. Repulsion Field is there to actively affect the enemies to make them easier to attack.
RF does offer a nice survivability boost against things like warwolves and rikti that are swinging that freaking sword.
My personal experience with PFF is if I need it in combat to get a breather, it's usually too late. I tend to still get 2 or 3 heavy hitting attacks on me as it's activating, and die anyway. It is handy if I get booted from a team and am in a field of purple con enemies though.

Personally, I'd take repulsion field (the melee range force bubble type power) over PFF. It offers a survivability boost against melee mobs, and lets you attack back.
