I would say its between Blade and Hyp. Depends what content you're trying to do, the sig level of Blade, if you have the other pieces like GR or Sparky. Thing would be another possibilities if you have his heimdall angela synergy pieces or are trying to do V2. But hyp seems like the better overall fit.
With the full F4 synergy, Thing enters real beast mode. Personally he is one of my favorites to play, which is why I have my 5* at 5/65 sig 200 and my 6* at R2 unawakened.

I never find Blade...the greatest champ in the game. I have maxed out 4*, i was playing a lot with that trinity synergy but nowadays there are much better champs around..
Thing is amazing and super fun to play. Takes very little damage and can do a lot of good work in act 6. If you've got F4 synergy you can play risky with champion synergy. Kill yourself, build up like 8 furies and everybody will die if you crit an S2. Mine has hit for over 120k getting a crit on his bumdrop
Venom is, from this list, the one with most utility by far. He can cover a lot of problems.
You need bleeds? He got it. Need a nullifier? He got it Need a little regen? He has it Need an armor break? He has it Need something to kill annoying evaders? He has it Need a Havok counter for some reason? He can do it. Need someone to resist Power Drain/Burn? He can do it (against Techs)
Here is a quick write up on Hype that I did. Hope this helps you with ur decision. This was for an awakening gem post in case context is slightly confusing.
Before you throw too many sig stones at him, unless you care about prestige and he is one of your top 5, HE DOESNT NEED MORE THAN 20 SIG LEVELS. His buff duration increase ranges from +65% at sig1 to +75% at sig 200. Sig 20 is +70%. It scales disgustingly bad, but that is also a good thing because you don’t need to put as many resources into him to maximize his output.
A great synergy team I have found for him is Hype, CAIW, OG Thor (or whoever from CAIW’s cosmic synergy), Quake, and Hawkeye. That will give you +25% buff duration and +15% ability accuracy (more furies, incinerates, and more frequent stuns)
My main rotation for him is parry heavy parry heavy combo L2; then there are two paths: 1. The L2 stuns- heavy, then wait until the stun is about to expire (to get more power gain), combo, and you should be back at L2 2. The L2 doesn’t stun- play how you see fit, try to get one more heavy in then shoot off another L2
Some interesting utility I have used many times is the fact he doesn’t ever have to hit with a basic attack. Ever. Just play dodgy like you would SESM and intercept their dash with your L1. This also only has 1 contact hit, so this bypasses Electro and other similar mechanics.
Don’t be shy with his regen either; I’ve gone from like 18% back to full in 2-3 fights by just slowing down the play on an easy fight and playing dodgy when the enemy is at low percent, intercepting or pushing them back on their block, then ending them with an L3.

Man I wish I'd known this before I put like 60 odd stones into mine
But tbh from what I’m seeing I was leaning toward Hype already but I think this pushed me over the top... I just wanted some opinions and I pretty much got what I asked for so thanks peeps

Never had Hyp tho so can say nothing.
