Need help for selecting a general...

I'm planning on building a Naya EDH, and have 2 generals in mind; Uril, the Miststalker or Rith,the Awakener. I just can't decide which one to build around.
My plan for Rith would be a token deck based around devour, with cards like the different thallids to help with token production, and stuff like Mycoloth to take advantage of the tokens.
For Uril, I would make a voltron deck, with enchantments like Rancor or Eldrazi Conscription , and numerous white aura supporting cards(such as Auramancer ).
Which do you guys think I should go with?

Uril, The Mistalker is better than the rith. he also has hexproof which is a big plus and makes him really hard to kill. he also gets really big really fast!

Screw red, Sigarda all the way for a voltron general when the new legend rule hits she'll be neigh impossible to kill and she automatically comes with evasion in addition to hexproof. The no sac ability also really shuts down a good number of black sweepers and removal.

There are plenty of ways to get rid of Sigarda, Host of Herons but in EDH where you have a deck full of 1 ofs White is really the only color that can reliably wipe the board consistently enough to kill her.
I agree with Demarge about Sigarda, Host of Herons being a far superior creature as a general but when playing against white keep in mind that the color has lots of options.

A properly built voltron deck will run tons of cards that either give her indestructible or something like indestructible (totem armor) making her impossible to kill without an exile board wipe or a tuck board wipe (which a lot of playgroups consider a dick move apparently), there are also times where I've had to pay 13 for her and still managed to win.

When it comes to decks, Uril is better but he is also a lot more hated so you will get a lot of crap from people playing. The Rith makes games fun and, if you are not playing in a very competitive group, then I would suggest playing Rith.

Fair warning, I definitely want Naya colors, and my main goal is fun factor.

Well Uril, the Miststalker is fun for only the person playing it. Not for everyone else at the table. Rith allows you to do token shenanigans while not being the main focus of the table. Rith is a beater which is nice but he doesn't warrant the hate that Uril brings. Try your hand at building a Rith deck. Post it on tapped out and get suggestions from people.

Not to throw a monkey wrench into your plans but there's Mayael the Anima as well.
Of those two Uril, the Miststalker is more powerful but will probably get you hated off the table faster in multiplayer.
