Immobilization or Daze?

Hi. I recently got into the game which I am enjoying the heck out of, and I am building my first character who will have a touch which will emit an electric shock like a stungun or taser. I have been trying to decide whether to use immobilization or daze for the power. I am leaning toward immobilization because it seems like a stronger character would be more able to shrug off the effects. I would appreciate hearing what a more experienced player thinks.

How do you imagine an opponent to resist it? Would a big hulking brute shake it off faster than a brainy, charismatic bald fellow?

If Brute is faster to shake it off, then Immobilization
If Brainy is faster to shake it off, then Daze

Other considerations, Daze is limited to Mind 20 while Immobilization has a range of Brawn 10 to 30

I believe its important to imagine the special effect in several conditions, then the game mechanics options usually become apparent.

cheers

Iwould use Immobilize. What would be really nasty is to LINK it with Daze.
