Well, this is a pretty niche question, but 谁啊 and 谁呀 are pretty much indistinguishable. Do you know how Chinese people tend to write it? In my mind it's 谁啊.

谁啊 could be said by anyone, 谁呀 is the just the cute inflected 谁啊。My 7 year old over uses 呀 I think because of the kid shows he watched when he was younger.
