Which Ninian Should I Merge?

So I just pulled a Ninian from the Summer Banner, (really wanted Innes but whatever) and I already have a 40+3 Ninian that is +atk - def.
The Ninian I just pulled is +spd -hp, and I'm wondering which IVs are better for her.
Here is the build I have on her rn if that helps.

I like +spd on this build because she gets quite fast, enough to avoid doubles from swords that she might occasionally have to tank a hit from if you want to use Dark Breath effectively.

If it's just for defense you might as well go for the higher BST (+atk). No player is going to suicide their sword into her anyway so you'll get very marginal help from the +spd, even if +spd/-hp is an optimal IV.

How about avoiding doubles, though? Being hard to double is one of her trademark reasons for being hard to take down.

And I actually say the opposite about scoring - arena defense is where we don't need to score as high, so I would be less concerned about her BST unless you want her on the offense team.

I would probably take the speed boon in a hurry. She doesn't generally need to attack.

Ordinarily avoiding doubles is going to be much more important than having extra attack. Absolutely agree with you there, but that's why I mentioned no one will suicide a sword into her. On defense a player won't hit her with a red unit that won't kill. At 27 Defense, you won't find too many popular green units that won't kill her even without a double.

If she has higher BST on a defense team, then the team will possibly get matched against a higher opponent. If they quit the match because of WoM shenanigans then OP will get a higher defense score from it.

At least that's how I think it works?

Edit: Actually I just saw that she has really good HP so the def stat is pretty good. My above reasoning might be flawed.
