Question: Would it be better to use octahedral Ni2+ complexes or octahedral Cr2+ complexes to determine whether a ligand is a strong-field or a weak-field ligand

Would it be better to use octahedral Ni2+ complexes or octahedral Cr2+ complexes to determine whether a ligand is a strong-field or a weak-field ligand by determining ex-perimentally the number of unpaired electrons? How else could the relative ligand field strengths be determined?
