Sonic/Cold or Fire/Cold for team play?

Basically, my question is exactly what the title says. I'm looking to make a new Corruptor, and I'm having trouble deciding between Sonic/Cold and Fire/Cold. I've played and enjoy all three sets (this will be my first time pairing either primary with /Cold, however), so that's not really an issue.

I'll be using this Corruptor on medium-large teams, including a lot of Task/Strike Forces. So, if you were forming a team and all other things being equal, which would you rather have? Should I go for the higher personal damage from Fire, or the increased -res from Sonic?

Thanks in advance!

I run a sonic/cold/mace as my main. He is soft capped to S/L with a boat load of recharge. I can say that of all my toons he is the one I enjoy the most. The combo give massive amounts of -res and great team buffs. I know Fire/ has more damage but the debuffing from this combo is insane. You can be the only support toon on a team or go solo As/GMs/Pylons, it doesn't matter. I am on my phone right now but tomorrow I will post my build. I say Sonic all the way. You won't really notice the lack of AoE that much. Just a great all-around toon.

My Fire/cold corruptor is my favorite toon to play. Having all that aoe is incredible and I would think be the difference between the two toons. Fire has great graphics is fast and hits hard single target or aoe. The new color tints make fire look great and the fun of throwing fire and ice together makes me giggle and is a big part of the fun of the combo for me.

I keep trying sonic blast but the lack of aoe and the noise really annoy me. Also the aoe sleep which is a big reason most take it is totally negated and made obsolete by sleet. Sleet is control and debuff all in one you honestly don't need anything else.

The big lure for sonic is if you want to do the really crazy solo stuff at level 50 or solo a lot leveling up.

Thanks for the feedback guys! "Fire/Cold for getting to the AV, Sonic/Cold once you're at the AV" really puts the whole thing into perspective. Now I just need to decide which is more important to me.

Yeah I'll ditto the whole "Fire for up to AV, Sonic for the AV" sentiment. What I'll add to that is, because of /Cold, you WILL defeat the AV and defeat it handily. Sonic will allow you to defeat the AV in 1 minute instead of 1 minute 5 seconds (full disclosure - I'm completely making up these numbers). Fire though, especially coupled with Cold, will absolutely obliterate the other spawns to such a degree your teammates need only keep aggro off you. I don't have a Sonic/Cold Corr, but I do have a Cold/Sonic Def, in addition to a Fire/Cold Corr. My "feeling" when playing those 2 is that the Cold/Sonic is there to support the team, for the Fire/Cold the team is there to support her. Maybe that's more of a Corr/Defender thing, but I don't think so, I think it's a Sonic vs Fire thing.

Bottom line - there is no "wrong" choice. However, to answer the question that was asked, I'd have to say Fire Blast.

I'd go Fire aswell. I have a Fire/cold and I really think I'd miss the AOE if he was sonic. My Sonic/dark (granted its build is leaning heavily towards pvp) sits on the login screen alot because of the lack of strong AOE dmg.

I'll admit the lack of AoE is disheartening but, the amount of debuffing you do is pretty insane. Sonic/Cold/Mace is sick.
