Default [IBC] Abelia and Camelellia sasanqua

We're all supposed to design a tree at our next club meeting.
I've been making the rounds of the 35 (or so) nurseries in my
town and have found:

1. An Abelia chinensis with a truly awesome nebari and lower
trunk, and
2. A Camellia sasanqua with a nice base, very nice trunk line
and useable top.

Your thoughts on the relative merits of the two will be
appreciated. (Have found any number of nice J. chinensis
(Sargenti) and J. davurica expansa 'Parsoni'), but I'd rather not
use them, given a choice.)
