Are you an asshole? Nidalee is for you! Are u not an asshole? Anivia it is.
Anivia. One less Nid would be great.
This is a very subjective question. It's even worse that you didn't specify what you're looking for in a champion. I'm just going to list out a couple attributes for both champions.
Nidalee is a very powerful early game jungler because of her super good mobility, really fast clears, and really high burst damage. She has pretty much all the tools an early game jungler would want besides CC. But her long dash and red buff makes up for that. She has pretty good poke later in the game but she does fall off because of how easy she is to kill instantly if she jumps into your team.
Anivia is a mid lane(or occasionally top lane) mage that controls a ton of space. She zones off enemies and deals pretty insane damage if she positions correctly. Her AoE ultimate can turn the tides of teamfights and her Q + W are very good abilities for catching enemies off. If you're fed, your E + R should easily chunk 70% of a squishy champ's health during mid game. She is mana hungry and much harder to play early, however. You're generally going to be farming a lot on her until you can get to a very powerful later in the game.
Both are fairly difficult champions for first timers, but I'd say Nidalee is slightly easier of the two. I say this solely because of how crucial positioning is on Anivia, and how well you need to know all the midlane matchups.
Anivia is immobile, outputs lots of damage, and requires farm. If you ask me (no I'm not arguing this, and no I don't care if I get downvotes for this) I do not find Anivia to be very good in the current meta. Nidalee on the other hand, is really good in the current meta, outputs a LOT of damage with her Q, and in general just fits in well with how the meta is working right now. I like Anivia more because she's a little more challenging, but if you're more into high damage outputs with little risk, than Nidalee is your choice.
Do you want people to hate your guts and wish death upon you and your family? Play Nidalee! If you want to play a healthy and balanced champion with clear counterplay, yet still shines when played by a knowledgeable player? Play Anivia!
