Bullgryn Question: Which Shield Type is Better?

[OverchargeThis!]

I'm going to build 6 Bullgryns.

 

To your experience, is the slab shield (+1 Wounds) or the brute shield (4+ invulnerable save) better?

 

I tend to lean in the direction of the brute shield. I am getting ready to assemble and paint a squad of these guys, and want to figure out which of the two shield types I should build them with.

 

Thanks.

Invuln is going to be more impactful in my opinion.  1 wound is easy to pick up, especially considering the guns that are being aimed at them.

 

Two damage weapons are still going to need 2 shots to kill them, and I feel like 2 damage is more likely to be aimed at them to take them out, so I think the invuln increase is better as it'll make each of those shots less likely to impact, as AP1/2/3 is plentiful across almost all armies.
