So Defense versus Attack?)
I initially wanted Sakura because you can also get her exquisite earrings

More or less, yes.
Or, map clearing vs raidboss slaughter, since Nerine has an AOE special while Sakura has a single target special, not to mention the bonus atk and bonus damage.

They're really both terrific assets, even when they're not bloomed yet, so if you can't pick because of their skills, I'd suggest to pick the one who ranks highest on your scale-of-waifu.
