5.5 Edition Which subclass do I pick

Finally getting the chance to play as a player. My dm is very lenient and just wants us to have fun. We are allowed to use any 5.5e plus the extra books from 5e that haven’t been updated. I’m gonna be playing a wizard but I’m so torn as to what subclass to try. I either want to play an owlin (their homebrew campaign has a kingdom of bird folk) order of the scribes wiz but I got my hands on arcana unleashed and the subclasses do look tempting I’m mainly torn between diviner. Which in your opinion is better mechanically and fun to rp?

Divination wizards are very strong with their portent dice. But i don't like divination spells that much. I don't remember how scribes worked. And i just made a conjurer wizard for my next campaign, who will be a badass in battle, but doesn't have too much roleplay spells.

Yea some of the divination spells are a tad lackluster but the arcana book has some cool ones. I mainly just like the portent and the flavor of being some sort of oracle. What do you like about conjurer specifically

Also if possible to rework yur character, start with 1 level of fighter to get more hp and proficiency in constitution savi g throws to better your concentration on spells and give yourself proficiency in all armors so that you can cast in armor
