If feeling 'sluggish' is your concern, I'd say NIN might be the better choice. Even with the toned down 4.x rotation, NIN still feels fairly busy to me compared to SAM. More things to keep track of overall, with SAM feeling more... rhythmic is the word I'd probably use. The nature of the sen gauge makes their rotation flow in a fairly stable pattern, but the acceleration of kenki generation at 62 does help it feel faster. I would probably recommend simply pushing SAM to 62 to play with it, but I do think NIN might end up being the better option.
