Sigh... Sora Assassin or Sora Ninja?

Scope: PvE only
I already have enough heroes to clear the gold mine event consistently (Kai/Shizu Ninjas, Freya Dragoon, etc.), so my dilemma is more about general usage for Story mode, Guild Raid and events.

Points for Assassin
- I like Sora Assassin looks better. 
- Her pet skill seems more useful due to the AOE 2-turn silence
- Hero aura seems useful (35% dodge) and is more reliable
- Pet has more reliable skill, damage and survivability compared to ninja pet (stealthed 1 extra turn)

Points for Ninja
- Shorter CD for pet summon (1 turn)
- Hero seems to have greater survivability (60% dodge vs 35%) but AI seems to prefer squishier targets in the backline, right? 
- Higher offensive capability via her aura, right? But proc chance seems low unless you really fill up all the aura slots?
- Pet skill can be used offensively or defensively, right? 

Seeing no response made, I would like to point out that both are equally useful in their active skills and passive aura.

However, to make a choice between them to suit most squad, Ninja path is preferred. Reason being most player own Sven (Berserker), and her Ninja class should be able to work well with him in terms of aura.

Above are just my personal views. Do share your concern as well.

Thanks, it was clear after a while that this was not a clear-cut answer. Both jobs were picked by the top arena players as well as my friends and guildies. So I went with whatever complemented the rest of my heroes best. I had enough heroes for a melee attack-trigger front line so went with the assassin for more defensive options (plus I like the looks better, lol).
