I've been gone since shortly after i18 came out and I'm looking to waste a bunch of time trying to unlock incarnate stuff over the weekend. But I can't decide which of my toons to spend the time on!

Really, what I'm looking for is which archetype/powerset combo will 1) benefit the most from the new incarnate slots and 2) be most useful teaming in end-game content.

My stable of 50s looks like this, in order of how much inf I've poured into them:

Elec/Shield Scrapper
Fire/Kin Controller
SS/Fire Brute
Fire/Dark Corruptor
Inv/SS Tanker
Ice/Kin Corruptor
Ill/FF Controller

I absolutely love my corruptors, so right now I'm thinking of going with one of them.

If you love your corruptors - go with your corruptors

My choice would be the Fire/Dark corruptor of those, just because it brings ranged damage, debuffs, and is fire - which is just my personal favorite attack set (next to Stone, but you can't get Stone Blasts)

As was said in Gran Torino, "Your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you've left behind", let CoH be one of those things. Don't forget, forgive.

I think it comes down to what do you like to play the most. There's also nothing stopping you from running multiple. It may seem like a lot of work to get the new incarnate stuff but, especially if you get a few lucky reward drops at the end, it doesn't take as long as you think. Its not instant, but its not forever as some people seem to imply elsewhere if you utilize your astral merits, emperian merits, and components wisely.
