Hope this helps with making an informed decision about which suit to spec into.
MINMATAR LOGI :
Pros: Fastest logi, repair tool bonus (your tool will be more efficient and have longer range), fast hacking speed
Cons: Lowest base HP
An efficient support suite that is speedy and great for zipping around the battle field and logi support for faster squad mates (light and medium frames). Due to its low HP you might want to run with a squad if you intend on getting in the thick of the action- or putting on alot of armor. We are currently see this suit being used mostly in a support role although I have seen some good slayer logi's (xthesillyrabbitx) use this suit effectively.
AMARR LOGI
Pros: Highest base HP, side-arm, uplink bonus (if you drop uplinks they have faster spawn time and more spawns)
Cons: Slowest logi, less equipment slots at standard/proto
Whilst this suit feels like slow motion in comparison to the minmatar you are a lot more resistant to enemy fire. You will get a side-arm with this suit which can come in handy if you intend on doing a lot of killing. We weren't seeing too many of these logi suits in previous patches but people are now spec-ing into them for the uplinks (especially for use in PC)
GALLENTE LOGI
Pros: Only logi suit that still repairs its own armor, active scanner bonus
Cons: Being predominantly armor based your plates will slow you down and make u more susceptible to armor based weapons.
We have seen this, and the Caldari, suit most commonly used by slayer logi's. Most people will stack armor on this suit so you have an opportunity for quite alot of HP and can take more enemy fire (at the cost of speed). For this reason it can also make a good support logi companion for heavy frame squad mates or those who play in the thick of the action (because it can handle high damage situations).
CALDARI LOGI i
Pros: Nanohive bonus (your nanohives will be more efficient), shields recharge faster and with less delay.
Cons: less equipment slots at standard/proto, stacking shields makes you more vulnerable to shield based weapons
Previously a FOTM slayer suit because (some would argue) it had better slot configurations than the caldari assault. This suit will typically have a lot of sheilds stacked onto it to benefit from the shield bonus. So overall you might have less HP than a gallente but will be quicker.
... I have personally tried all these suites up to proto except the caldari (I couldn't stand having only 3 equipment slots at proto). As a pure support logi my fave is Minmatar- a sentiment shared by many- followed by the Gallente suit.
Good luck with making a decision. Its a tough one.
