What Assassin to start with?

I'm new to these forums, so I hope I post this right:

I've played D2 for years, but have just started up again from scratch. I've never made an Assassin before so I'm looking for some input on how I should start out, CC or CS, and where to place stats. I am only interested in PvM and would like to be able to solo most areas.

I've narrowed it down to 2 builds that hopefully aren't too item dependent, but I am open to any suggestions.

1st: a Tiger Strike/Dragon Tail build w/ Death Sentry and Lightning Sentry

-or-

2nd: a Trapper (will a trapper be able to handle light immunes well?)

I'm not sure which of these are better, or how exactly I should distribute the skill points for them.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks alot.
