Deciding on my first Order level 40, ENG or SW?

[Darkfalz8]

As the title says I'm trying to decide which of the two classes I want as my first level 40. I love the turret and AOE/Long range ENG has with Rifelman and Grenadier but as far as rifleman I hear a lot of complaints as far as getting heavily mitigated from all the armor pot chugging folk. Something that just concerns me when I want to play the safer long range route but at the same time I feel ENG has a little more durability. As far as SW I like that you have the tactic that lets 2 attacks bypass 50% of resists plus I get a bit kick with lining up my timed buffs with my arrow flight times for some ninja assassin burst . Currently leaning towards SW but I'm a bit concerned with SC durability as I'm sure both classes do just fine in the open RvR scene, thoughts?

On your first char you might want to be able to farm gold and crafting material. The engineer is much better in this department.

I prefer the mobility .

Engi in Grenadier spec is also very mobile.
