Tree hugger or medicine man?

[MikeXG]

Returned to the game a month or so ago. Thinking of resurrecting my old druid, or my old shaman. They are both mid 30s and between the 2 of them I have 1 decent set of gear. I have a buddy who is a druid so I have easy access to ports, and as much of a draw as it is playing druid, I am not without them if I don't. That said, I am curious which is cheaper to gear and get up to higher tier of levels and which has an easier time soloing?

Thanks in advance my lovely p99 community.
