Do you want to look at a guy, or a girl for 7-12 hours?
In the entirely non-sexual context of wearing full body armor and being regularly engaged in intense close quarter gun battles, my preference lies with playing as the character who seems least out of place. Anya, when last I saw her, was built like a waif. If she maintained this build while wearing power armor and keeping up with men who are easily 300 lbs of bone and muscle, I would be reminded constantly that I was playing a game with capricious and entirely arbitrary rules.
That is the reason why I care if the armor is powered or not. For the record, unless I was told it wasn't, my assumption would be that the armor probably does assist in the user's locomotion.
And, besides, between the two, Fenix has at least some amount of characterization to his credit at this point. Anya was just eye candy and a nagging voice in my ear for hours on end.
