Her effective hp against a lich during her skill usage is over 15k (assuming 20% hit rate).
That's her niche. And she's really good at it. Because of that , and their costs , shizuka and chizuru fill different niches , so comparing them is useless.
Actually , i'd argue that chizuru's niche and ability are more unique then shizuka's (who can easily be replaced by plenty others)
