Bard cloak question - opinions wanted

[Troxx]

Overall gear for my level is moderately poor - limited planar gear. Have best weapons available that can be bought and dragonborn sash. Otherwise it's the basic ac/hp JC rings and hp/mana ears - mix of lambent with 2 pieces of imbrued and hero bracer/SS bracer.

In not having much planar gear, my dexterity isn't great. It's over 100, but I'd prefer it to be a bit higher to minimize missed notes. My options for cloak (currently naked) are Hooded Black Cloak vs Cloak of Shadows.

5str 45hp vs the dex on the Shadows cloak? If I had higher unbuffed dex (ie a fat bank roll to buy cultural with) it would be no contest HBC.

Which would you choose?
