Flaming Rabies vs Fireclaw: lets discuss

I'm debating which route to go, 'cause both seem like very fun options. By all means this post is not a "which build beats the other"... 'cause probably the one that stacks the most resists >.< But what I'm really after is, which build fairs the best all around in pubs or any other duel.

Fireclaw
-greater life
-far greater fire damage
-greater speed, ftmp (=for the most part, happy Oiler and porky :grin: )

Flaming Rabies
-greater AR/FHR
-possibly far greater damage output overall (debatable): since rabies isn't stackable, combining it with lower end fireclaw should still come out ahead against most melee vs JUST fireclaw.

It all seems to come down to more versatility vs. just plain more effective. Am I better just gammbling and going for better all around, or should I try more vers so less dead matches?
