Hmmm. I'd go with a W9N9 Son of Niefel, since most battles do not last long enough for the reinvigoration of the earth blessing to matter to troops (and Jotunheim has no sacred mages except the Neifel Jarl who's really a combat dude and is super expensive), and I'd take +4 def and double attacks over +4 prot any day.
I think this would be quite good if you're not bothered too much about magic, since the Son is a pretty decent fighter himself (and teamed with a Neifel Jarl prophet you have a pair of good army leaders). In fact, one of my opponents is playing exactly this setup in our current game.
It all depends *which* sneaky magic strategy your toughest opponent has gone for. I guess you'll find out ....
