I think it boils down to how many encounters you have per day in general. For my group, unless the daily provides a benefit throughout the encounter, I go with encounter utilities over dailies any day of the week. I'll often get 4 uses out of the encounter vs the 1 daily.
For groups that do fewer, CSW is a lot better. However, I think both powers are useful, I wish more powers in 4e were like this, too many levels have automatic winners for powers imo.
For groups that do fewer, CSW is less useful because they won't run out of surges.
Both powers are good, but I think _most_ people will be happier with bastion due to the range, action cost, and frequency of use.
I do know a certain suicidal rogue who never has enough surges that I'd bank CSW for, though
