Hinata>every other free tank.
You could also consider Kimimaro, with good healer behind him... (tho his Mystery costs 60)
I'd honestly suggest you drop the idea of Ino-Shika team tho... but yeah... if you'll like it, use it. Not everyone has to be power player, one of my alts I play Water Main with Suigetsu and Zabuza on my team, I lose a lot lel

Chouji is OK for Survival Trial teams (the first ones you use to clear first stages and expect to lose them around stage 7 or 8, maybe 9), because he can heal himself, you pair him with Guy, it's... OK.
Once you have a ninja that gives shield to everyone else on team, Chouji is obsolete.
The biggest worth Chouji has is actually his attacking, he attacks whole row of enemies, so he's good for clearing clones. But that's too situational to be worth it imo.
