Advice on choosing a healer

If you're not engaged by AST, which arguably has the most to do outside of healing, neither WHM nor SCH are going to cut it for you.

What about the healing spells specifically, are they all essentially the same? Heal, big heal, aoe, big aoe, etc.

You have the gist of it, yes. There are some differences of course, but the core of what you're doing isn't going to change - especially thanks to Shadowbringers.

SCH has a little more variety, but if you're playing daily roulettes, there's a ceiling to how complex anything's going to get (although, your party might change that!).

I'm still in the process of leveling it myself, but it has some interesting abilities in Shadowbringers through the new pet, Seraph, which includes shields. There's still several interesting mitigation abilities. My complaints are that you have too many stacks of Aetherflow for much of the content now that they're only for healing, and the DPS rotation has been trimmed.
