Verdict

Shirou will be very beneficial for the Classic or Clash Squad matches, but he cannot be considered the best choice for the Factory Challenge.

His ability is remarkable but is of not much use when the criteria (melee and fistfights) of the Factory Challenge comes into play.

DJ Alok will be a far better choice as he will provide extra speed and a constant healing source, which is crucial for the challenge.

(Note: As the Factory Challenge is a custom room mode, the weapon choice solely depends on the individual player. The fights are usually 1v1, and the popular weapons are melee and fists. This article compares the two characters based on these criteria).
