I'm a bit of a downer on spines. I have one, played to 50 and am completely unimpressed with it. Electric is pretty amazing. Lots of others have good things to say about spines though, I'm sure one will be along shortly. Until then, one vote for Electric.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
I like Spines but between the two Elec is better IMO. Especially for soloing. Without looking at any numbers, just off the top of my head I'd bet Spines is in last place for single-target damage. If you like to solo with bosses, that'd make it a poor choice. I don't feel especially weak when playing my spiner solo, but I do notice the slower kill speed on bosses.
IMO the main reason to roll Spines is that you don't want to do Elec again. If you haven't reached that point with Elec yet, go Elec.

Of the two choices listed, Electric has better single-target damage (wanted for bosses) and a less-resisted damage type. Since it also has high AoE burst damage, it's one of the best overall PvE sets for Stalkers and I recommend it, KM, and DM as "can't really go wrong" primaries.|

That said, if you'd rather do Spines you can make it work, and if you use the crystal spines and color them right they look like icicles so might fit the concept better. How far developed is the character concept, and how important is the difference in single-target damage to you?
