Why me? I'm just a lurker. o_o
Well, it depends on your concepts! If you have a happy character, their powers should either match or maybe contrast for some sort of conflict. If their powers are opposite their beliefs or ideology - a pacifist with an offensive power, or a fighter who can only heal or do support-stuff - that can provide some fun development. But it's true that the Shade would possibly fit with a character that's more dark or unstable.
My advice would be think both of them over, see how much you can flesh out on both concepts. Also, a good idea would be to wait until Amityville does show up, and check the main tone of the game. So basically, dither indecisively until the last minute, and see if at that moment either of them is more fitting.
I know, my advice kind of sucks.
