Black outlines or no?

[Ter13]

I'm fooling around with some player images, and I'm trying to decide if I should use black outlines, or pillow-shaded borders. I like how crisp the black outlines make the image look, but I don't care for the fact that it makes the skin seem paler than it really is.

I'm a big fan of the second for the fact that it ties the shading together, and seems to bring out the highlights and shadows, but I'm not a big fan of the fact that it makes the guy look a little chubbier than the ones in the black outline.

Preferences?
