Which stalker to play first?

Just like the titles says. I have played to 50 my spine/SR scrap and I did love him to death (pre-stalker love patch at that) but I shelved him a long time ago because I was just irritated at their lack of use...to put it mildly. This was my first CoV toon and I want to play a stalker again but this time with a better character concept because I love the game play they have.

So I am going to dive in with both feet again and play one of the two scrappers I have right now.

both are level 4 Praetorians and I love the game play on both but this is more of a question to those that have played any of the powersets so I can get some in site of the one I want to level up first. Also I will be playing both to 50 I just want to find the one that will get me back into the swing of things with playing a stalker I.E. more forgiving to my inner noob.

I have read the guides but again I am not here for min maxing so much as fun to play. I could get slaughterd often enough as long as it looked cool.

The first is a BS/Nin. Got a Fox trickster thing going on with him.

The other is Kin/WP. Native American Brave concept with him.

So any thoughts on the one I should go at first?

oooooooohhh, tough call.

I have a lvl 39 NB/Nin that I love to death, that combo really lets you feel like a ninja, and BS/ is pretty close to NB/......

But hey, the new shiny!

I've also been playing a new praetorian KM/Regen and having a blast (no pun intended) with it too. /WP is good for survival too same as /Nin, both have a self-heal, a good T9 "god mode", but I'd have to vote for BS/Nin, just because then you'd get to go unlock all the cool sword varieties later on, and that's fun stuff.

Never thought about that...thats a good Idea! And how is Ninja blade? I picked BS because the character is not a ninja really...think prince of Persia kind of thing but I will probably make a Nin/nin build eventually lol I can see it.

I'm having my first go with a stalker playing a KM/EnA. I've no idea how good or bad a combination it is but when both sets look as good as this I couldn't care less .

Ninja blade is a little faster than Broad Sword, but Broad Sword makes up for it with better damage. Other than that, they both have a couple of AoE moves, and both have a move that boosts your defense for a couple of seconds everytime you use it. Broad Sword has more unlockable swords though.
