Better to choose doula with massage exp?

I'm down to two doulas. They have the same experience, and I clicked with them both equally. Is it generally better to go with the doula that is also a licensed massage therapist? Does that end up coming more in handy when in labor?

    I didn't like being touched during contractions.  I would let my body go limp during them and  when someone touched me, my first instinct was to move my body away from them.  It screwed up my focus.

    I didn't have a doula, but I did not want to be touched during labor.
