Leona or Nami?

I am looking for a great support, and I think one of these 2 would be best. I am leaning towards Leona because it would be fun to try her in top lane too. Which one should I get?

Nami is good at sustain, and you can change the course of a teamfight with a well placed bubble or tidal wave.

Leona brings tankiness to the table, and the ability to basically say "We're fighting right now whether you like it or not". You can engage a fight when it's advantageous for your team.

Both are super useful in different situations, so which sounds more interesting to you?

Play style will absolutely dictate this one. Leona is the in your face, super smash bros support. Nami is the sustain and poke.

Do you prefer to heal your adc and prevent the enemy from chasing, or do you prefer to dive in to set up kills, possibly killing yourself in the process?

I personally think this comes down to your general play style when you support. If you're a more passive support, then I think Nami would be better. However, if you are aggressive, Leona's your girl.

As for myself, I like Leona better, for multiple reasons: She's tanky, but does catch a lot of people off guard with her damage. She goes very well with a full AD team comp, as her passive makes up for a lot of the missing magic damage. If you find yourself out of position on Leona, it's very easy to either get away, or stall long enough for your team to show up and turn the tables, as Leona get's a crazy amount of free tank stats from her W. She can lock down multiple enemy targets or perma-cc one champion. It's much easier to make an impact on Leona. Finally, I find it's much easier to protect and/or get my ADC fed with Leona. Nami's bubbles are much easier to dodge than Leona's ult or Q.
