I think it depends on what kind of effect you're looking for in the story. Personally, I think that both are fine options.Do you prefer a super strong woman to have a normal build or to be super muscular as well? I personally can go either way.

Wonder Woman is a different concept, being from our world but having fantastic abilities. Gal Gadot's scenes in the trenches in Wonder Woman are absolutely epic without the need for huge muscle power, and I guess she is human too, one of us, just with remarkable trained and honed abilities. Absolutely Awesome!
Realistically, from a 'human' perspective, it's gonna be huge muscles to have this kind of superstrength. (I'm thinking Tetsuko from DCM here).
So three options, all work for me.
E.T.A. Gal Has it has it as Wonder Woman for reasons above, no mass muscle, just fantastic strength and abilities.
Gal wins hands down every time here.

I really don't like unrealistic muscle mass, like for example: www.deviantart.com/mdrlalo82/art/Touching-the-Peak-868928080 (no offence to the artist, I just think it's too much)

If I have my choice, I like fitness model muscle.

It makes perfect sense. Capturing posture is really one of the key points in selling a character.I like them to look “heroic”. Much of that has to do with the way they hold themselves in stature and posture. Gal does this. She’s not “fit” in the context of fitness models, but she holds herself heroically, if that makes sense.

You would only have to look as far as Circes Cup's very well written La Porte Caves to see how well this can work in the genre.Body type depends on the story that the author is trying to tell. Is the character supposed to be someone who is irresistibly attractive, physically intimidating, or someone that blends into a crowd and isn't particularly noticeable?

Perhaps a bit like this kind of slender yet tightly-defined physique?
Not hard for me to envision this woman as a Kryptonian/Velorian, et.al. kind of supergirl. Her amazing musculature along with such a slender body and long blonde hair makes it easy for me to buy into the "superhumanly strong" aspect.

Jamie is one of my faves! Lil tidbit.... Cassie, one of the super powered gals in Being Super #1, was based on Jamie!

IMO, still one of the best Powergirl drawings.
