Slashley's 'Which soul should I use' is a really great breakdown on the pros and cons for all souls. Bear's points are also valid on effort required and team level capability being considerations required when picking a soul. Most of the relevant information you need to make a decision is available on the forum; you might have to hunt a bit for it.

Rather than get into the middle of the debate and outright tell you what to do (without seeing your Hime and Grid list and knowing your level of play it's very generic), I'd rather just give you some color on what I did for most of my grids. As I was trying to elevate my grids from about 40k to 50k, I started using Hercules with her Axe. It's a solid choice and if you open up completely gives you -25% DEF which is really useful. Nearly all of my elements (light being the exception) have a MLB Herc Axe as I was getting a lot of bang for my buck. At around 50k I hit a brick wall and now require phantom weapons to move past that level. The phantom axe is a sub-par choice, while the phantom lance is an excellent choice. In my current game of trying to get all teams to 60k attack and above, I've found the need to invest in a full suite of Shingen Lances with all teams running her. I am in the process of farming approximately another 300 or so regalia across elements to max out her lance 4 more times (Dark and Light are fully maxed). It would be a pain, but I'm almost able to solo all Ultimates (Water is still a pain) and so it's just a matter of time. If I focused it take me 15 days... but I can't so it'll probably take longer. Even with planning... you still might end up in my situation...
