Who are you gonna main, Jason or Lucia?
I've been thinking about this since the first trailer. In GTA V I spent most of my time as Franklin because that driving special ability was just too good, especially once you got it maxed out. Swerving through traffic at full speed without a scratch never got old.
With Jason and Lucia I'm really hoping they each have something unique that makes you want to switch. Rockstar hasn't said anything official yet but you can already see hints. Lucia's got that ankle monitor backstory so maybe she's better at hand-to-hand or has some kind of street smarts perk. Jason looks like he might be the shooter of the two, maybe a slow-mo aiming thing like Michael had but more refined. Or maybe he's got an eagle eye for spotting collectibles and side stuff, that'd be useful.
The NPC interactions could be totally different too. I can already picture Lucia charming her way into places Jason would just get kicked out of, or Jason intimidating people in a way that makes them spill info. Little things like that would make me replay missions just to see both sides.
I'm really hoping the extended look on the 27th gives us a proper breakdown. The same narrator from the gameplay trailer would be perfect, she's got that calm "here's how you rob a bank" energy. Even if they just show a few seconds of each character's special ability I'd be happy. Right now I'm leaning Lucia just because her story feels more central, but if Jason has some stealth mechanic I might flip. Either way I'll probably end up switching constantly just to see what's different.

I'm picking whoever gets me into the off-map nooks first. In GTA V I only played Franklin to rush north to Mount Chiliad before the fog rolled in. Give Lucia a faster boat for the Leonida Keys or Jason better trucks for Mount Kalaga and I'm there. (I don't care about slow-mo shooting if I can't use it to scope out Ambrosia from the northwest ridge.) That August 27th drop better show some compass-relevant perks.
