it's a difficult one, the pavise champion would be the 'team player option' 9 shield skill it enough to be a solid feature in all hard mode waves, also taking into account champions can use the aegis shield.
The chosen marksmen is good if you can afford either of the new crossbows AND the cost of the hero class at the sametime, I only say this because chosen marksmen knocks your powerstikes from 7 to 6, which is an unnecessary loss if you don't have a new crossbow to use, you won't notice the 30 proficiency with an Arbalest.
It's a tough choice between these two, you'll feel the benefits of the champion off the bat, but without either of the new crossbows I doubt you'll see any difference with the marksmen. I'm torn between the two choices myself, however I'm leaning towards getting the Bigshot, I find myself playing ragnarok a fair amount and it'll be perfect there.
It's all personal preference, but all the responses you've received have great merit, use them all to make your decision.
