I'd say depends on the situation, although speed can cause "rug burns" Stamina isn't bad per se, being able to sprint for a longer duration is a god send. What bugs me is as I said, the other scouts get profile dampening, range extension, scan precision, and hacking bonuses, while the Amarr ONLY get stamina bonuses...nothing that makes it more useful as a SCOUT. Stam bonus, highest EHP, and best pg/cpu distribution to support jack of all trades, master of none builds. The other scouts have specific niches they will excel, the Amarr is a utility scout.
Don't forget slower than the Minmatarr assault. It's a joke. I would love to run Amarr scout, but anyone who looks at it objectively can tell it's the worst suit by a long shot.
How to fix: Increase speed by 0.1 and add the original 5%/level of cloaking regen. This would be sufficient to make it competitive with the other scouts.
Amarr scouts don't have the profile damp bonus like Caldari and Gallente, and they don't have the speed like the Minmatar. They are going to be completely dependent on their cloak for defense. Reducing the recharge on the cloak makes a lot of sense in this case (it would still have the same duration as other suits, but less downtime).
Best PvE idea ever!

I think that would put it in balance with the Min Scout, since the Min scout gets a bonus to a sidearm. If not pistols then something Amarr related. [Pistols came to my mind first cause they're badass and I hate the flaylock with a passion.]
I still prefer the cloak bonus, but if we had to go this direction, it should be a 1/level to clip size of the ScP. That would give it a big enough magazine to be used as a primary weapon in a low TTK game, without decreasing it's TTK. If you have to reload in combat as a scout you're already dead.
