Hm. If you have a problem intellectually pursuing a decision, in terms of Roleplay, you should definitely go with something more instinctive; I suggest Lightning. When you think of Lightning, you don't naturally go straight for "projectile", do you? Personally, I don't. Though, some people are different. Anyway, when I think of Lightning, I usually envision supplementary techniques. If you look back on any major manipulation of electricity, don't they all have something in common? They imbue something (be it their weapon or body) with electricity. I call this Stimulus, but only because they stimulate themselves using it. Through this little quirk alone, you can open up a gateway to everything I mentioned.
 * St.Elmo's Fire is a phenomenon in which lightning strikes a sharp object. The strike, initially, sets fire to the object. Though, the fire is but an intense glow that engulfs the outermost edge -- hints the name why it's called St.Elmo's "Fire". Anyway, the concentration of plasma that now coats said tip increased the object's conductivity (plasma is a huge conductor of electricity).
 * Paralysis is extremely simple, my dude. You can easily stimulate and numb the body of your opponent with a focused discharge. Actually, I'm calling bullshit on my own words; you don't even need to focus it. You know Kanmuru, the technique used by Killua Zoldyck in Hunter x Hunter? It is essentially an electrical aura around his body, which has been driven into his head, hands, and feet, that allows for him to directly transfer brain waves to designated parts of his body (bypassing his nervous system). You could consider this Stimulus, and apply it in a similar fashion to yourself, but you can also apply it in a negative notion to other people. You can imbue them with electricity, and cut pollute the speed in which their brainwaves traverse their nervous system, shitting on their ability to react.
