If you ask me, it should be that changelings have the best stealth ability while wizards have the best loud rampage ability.
Changelings search the station for someone who is alone and vulnerable and silently eliminate them, using their shapeshifting abilities to escape arrest, and their acid spit and stings allowing them to deal with single targets in combat easily, but their long cooldowns and single-target nature means they lack crowd-control ability; while their horror form is powerful, it drains DNA too quickly to be used as anything but a last resort, forcing them to run and hide from most organized security responses or lynch mobs.
Wizards, on the other hand, are loud, mobile, and deadly combatants; unable to use stealth but deadly in combat against even groups of foes, and almost unbeatable in one-on-one combat. They have multiple spells that can almost always instantly incapacitate a target in melee range, a variety of ranged stuns the help them close the distance, and multiple mobility and utility spells allowing them to easily escape if overwhelmed; they rely heavily on their very visible equipment however, being unable to cast spells without a robe and hat, and being greatly weakened without a staff.
tl;dr: changelings are stealth murder kings, wizards are loud rampage kings.
