You can't go wrong with either, but take note of the brittleness of the shun's vs the Wusthof edge due to the higher hardness.
Once you get into decent steel I would think chipping would be a function of edge geometry more than hardness. They're both making kitchen knives; I would be surprised if the hardness ratings are that far apart.

The Shuns and japenese knives in general are thinner and harder lows 60s vs high 50s. Its the combo of being harder and thinner that leads to their chipping and breaking more. But you just have to be a bit more delicate in comparison is all.
