I say go controller just for the added survivability solo. Once you get hotfeet and add in containment damage, you're doing very nice damage, and with radiation infection (slotted for -tohit, NOT -def please) you won't be getting hit much. Add in flashfire, and you won't be getting hit at all. And who doesn't like burning chimps running around?
My first and main toon is a Fire/Rad Corr. Loved it, continue to love it. The question at this point is really whether or not you want control. Fire/rad has the original hard control: mob death. However, it is also massively aggro inducing, so you'll be faceplanting a lot when your BURNINATING gets you in trouble. A corr's Fire/rad is pretty easy on the slotting, though, since rad doesn't have a lot of "necessary" slotting and on a corr, several of the powers (Fallout, Choking Cloud, Mutation, and EMP) can be skipped if they don't match your playstyle (I'd at least get mutation for teams, but it certainly doesn't require much if any slotting). Which means you can pretty much max out slots on all the rest of your primary powers.
Just a word of warning however, you're gonna bleed end like crazy. I recommend an epic that allows for end conservation or sapping.

My main and my all-time fave toon is a Fire/Rad troller. She is a beast, fully purped, HO'd and tricked out, and she was a beast out of the box. Its the one combo I've been tempted to play again, it was so much fun.
That said, it has made me curious about playing a corruptor incarnation...

Im stuck on which Fire/Rad combo to make. I thought I wanted a Fire/Rad controller but a Fire/Rad Corruptor combo also looks very interesting.. I think the Controller Epic pool however is very good...
Anyone have any experience with the Fire/Rad corruptor combos..
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
