It depends on the suit.
If you're running a logi you want more repair than armor because no one reps the logi.
However if you only have 300 armor...what's the point of having 20+ armor repair if you can die by a large alpha shot? Slower suits are better off to have more armor as the armor penalty doesn't affect them as much...but even then you should always have some sort of armor repair. What's the point of having 1000+ armor if you can only run through it once?
This is what I run:
Min logi: 430 armor, 12.5 armor repair
Amarr Assault: 600 armor, 6.25 armor repair
Amarr Commando: 700 armor, 12.5 armor repair
Amarr Sentinel: 900 armor, 12.5 armor repair
Gallente heavy frames should fill all of their slots with armor reps though, possibly a complex sprint mod too. Medium frames don't have enough base armor to make this work (the alpha damage thing), but gallentes have the extra speed and slots that Amarr doesn't.
______________________________________________________________
Finally, ferroscale are only beneficial on lighter frames as the speed penalty is greater for basic plates on these suits (it's still 2, 3, and 5% but it reduces m/s more because math). Reactives are complete ****...well besides the complex ones, and only on heavy suits. Why? Because right now heavy suits have a ridiclous amount of pg/cpu to actually fit these modules without hampering the rest of their fit.
_____________________________________________
Here's some general rules:
Less than 200 armor? Don't use reps
200-300 armor? Don't use more than 1 rep
300-600 armor? 1 rep minimum
600+ armor? 2 reps minimum (unless you have a logi)
Oh, and you don't go full repper to augment a logi...you do it so that you can survive without one.
Complete Brink tanking is only viable if you have a DEDICATED logi or repping nanohives or if it's a suicide fit that's meant to last as long as possible. Having a repair lower than 5 on these suits is pointless, as it takes MINUTES to heal back to full armor by yourself. If you can't fit at least one complex armor repair you'd be better off with another plate.
