I'm not too concerned about being gimped during the leveling/gearing process. I don't want to sink hundreds of hours into a character, realize I made a terrible mistake, and have no way to fix it.
Regardless of stats, definitely going Erudite. Hide is nice, but the Stamina and SVM that an Erudite gets seems more important to me. There's also less faction trouble, although that's more a convenience than anything.
