If we're going by personal preference, akali would be my choice (she was the 3rd champ I learned to play so im kind of attached to her) but for more utility and overall usefulness get Shen. Akali is pubstomp city, though if you solo queue a lot.
Depends mainly on which role you prefer to play as. The tank or the assassin?
While AP Shen isn't a bad idea, he really just has much more of a presence as the tank since he can easily turn a losing 2v2 into a winning 3v2 with his ultimate.
Akali however, is really just friggin' fun to play. Her ultimate is great for jukes and KSing (Kill securing :D), while her W can make people's heads roll if you do it correctly.

If we have special threads for this kind of questions, why don't we even refer to them?

Akali and Shen are very different champions. Other than both being ninjas, relying on energy as a resource, and being melee, they are completely opposites.
Shen is a tank. He has 3 jobs: split push lanes to force down turrets, be a front liner in team fights, and save people's lives with his ultimate. He is not a very exciting champ to play, but he definitely is a huge asset to any team he is on.
Akali, on the other hand, is an AP assassin. She is my main champion, and I absolutely love her play style. She can make crazy plays, juke enemies, nuke down enemy carries, and stealth. She is much harder to play successfully than Shen is, but once you master her, she can be an unstoppable force.
Personally, I'd recommend Akali to anyone. She is a hyper carry, and she is crazy amounts of fun to play. But if you like the tanky front liner play style, maybe Shen is the champ for you.
