I think Nen is a worse choice than Stand. The kind of Nen you are born with is random, limiting what abilities you could choose. Moreover, no matter kind you have or what cool ability you think of, it doesn't matter if you are born without much power. Virtually all Stands are cool and so whether you get an existing Stand from the manga or something new that matches your soul, you are unlikely to get something shitty. In a world without Stands (so that you don't get subjected to the huge downside of attracting other Stand users to you) you have all kinds of possibilities open up. Just having a stylish, invisible double of yourself that can't be affected by any normal damage would be awesome without the additional power(s).

There a quite a few horrible Stands, though, and not all of them are intangible, weirdly posing ghost men. Imagine you get the one that traps you in an area unless you sacrifice someone else to it or you turn permanently invisible.
