Shion is honestly a really, really great unit - multiple OD filling buffs, an overpowered UBB which grants three-turn 100% mitigation and OD fillrate (making the UBB potentially spammable every fourth turn) and various miscellaneous buffs (e.g. tristat and elemental addition) make him a unit which can be slotted into any squad. Additionally, he's a great EXP grind lead if you don't have one.

The only other unit who shares his usability is Alan, I suppose - he shares most of Shion's buffs, like his 100% three-turn mitigation and OD fillrate via UBB - and is a jack-of-all-trades perfect for any situation, packing buffs like a tristat boost, a critical hit rate boost, damage reduction from certain types, and so on. His Leader Skill is top-tier as well, providing a 60% parameter boost and 10% passive damage reduction which can be boosted to 70% and 15% respectively via SP.

It honestly depends on what you need and what you have at the moment buffwise. If you need good OD fill and an EXP lead, or have units who pack buffs that Alan packs, pick Shion; otherwise, pick Alan.

I hope this helps! (^^)/
