Or just have BOTH.

Kimimaro + Hinata is a beautiful combo of doom. Best part is when one dies, the other takes over tanking.

I usually have Kimimaro in front with Hinata in the back because my main combos well off Hinata. But if you want, you can switch it to Hinata in the front and Kimimaro behind her so when she dies Kimi c*e his OP AOE chakra ability that he couldn't afford the first few rounds. You lose the ability to acupuncture but maybe by then you don't need it anymore.
