Swordbreaker vs Lancebreaker S!Robin

Real quick question, just looking for some opinions. I recently finished building a Firesweep Lance build for my +Spd/-Def Summer Robin and I need help deciding between whether I should pick Lancebreaker or Swordbreaker.

Her stats are 35/52/45/19/24 and her build runs; Firesweep Lance+, Reposition, Luna/Moonbow, Life and Death, B-Slot, and Threaten Speed/Threaten Defence/Savage Blow.

Normally I would pick the breaker of their respective colour, however in Robin’s case I find that doubling with Firesweep is quite essential for securing kills (due to player phase limitation) and many sword users can easily hit the 40+ speed tier without any trouble, however many newer lance users can also hit this speed tier reliably or run Lancebreaker, and allowing Robin to be capable of fighting both reds and faster lance users sounds very tempting.
So, I’m basically stuck between whether I should run Swordbreaker to deal with the units she’s meant to deal with (primarily Ayra) or Lancebreaker to give her some addition match-ups against her own colour typing and prevent other Lancebreaker users from preventing a double or catching Robin off guard on enemy phase. Any help’s appreciated, cheers guys.

Bonus; If you have any more suggestions for her B-Slot (not Hit and Run or Drag Back), it would help out as well. I’ve considered many possibilities and would like to hear what you guys think as well.

You can slap a speed +3 sacred on her if you haven't already. Also since Firesweep negate counterattacks, you are basically running swordbreaker/lancebreaker to prevent yourself from getting doubled from being outsped(unlikely) or with someone else who also has lancebreaker. If I had to choose one I would choose swordbreaker because as you said Ayra just so you can ensure a ORKO because Ayra can get up to 50 spd quite easily. If not maybe seal spd or seal def is also good to weaken oppenents you can't ORKO reliably such as Black Knight, Arden, and Lukas. (You can actually ORKO Black Knight(Unsupported) if you use an attack 3 sacred seal).
