HP - sometimes
Speed - sometimes
Damage - sometimes
EWAR - No.
Mostly I run a highish speed mix of HP and regen.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

http://www.protofits.com/fittings/shared/337/7002I've heard people say it's useful when you're repping a heavy. That fitting has:
- 45 meter scan radius
- Can scan Minmatar and Amarr even if they have a complex dampener, can scan Cal/Gal without a damp
- Can get under Cal and Min scout even if they have 2 precisions, and Gal/Amarr with one precision
- Still has room for all four equipment, grenade, and proto weapon
But you could also argue you might as well use the scout with a rep tool. Which is a good point.
A scout with a rep tool would have:
- More tank
- More speed
- More scan range
- Lower scan profile
- Better scan precision
All at once.

Compared to that logi fit I was referring to?
No, it would quite definitely have more tank and the damage output would be equal.

Five reps?
Good grief.

I probably wouldn't use that fit.
5 reps is an amazing regen rate, but having 340 armour in a frontline protosuit does not appeal, however much regen you have.
I applaud the insane reps, but after 3 or 4 reps you really don't need any more and a little buffer will do wonders when you have a solid regen like that.
The standard fitting I use has three reps and two plates - it gives enough buffer to survive a round of combat and then enough regen to rapidly get back in. With 340 armour, you become extremely vulnerable to being alphaed through your buffer before you can retreat to rep. Especially in this era of bolt pistols, where it's very possible to get OHKO'd with that little armour.
The ferroblend is a much more sane idea. Speed is important on a close range dropsuit, after all, and I imagine Rattati is smart and evading the use of regular plates so as to incur no movement penalty.
5 reps just sounds insane... I'm going to go try it.  I'm sure that 4 reps is the limit of sanity though. 4 reps and an enhanced plate brings you up to 460 armour while still regenerating in 11 seconds, which is really plenty. The full potato 5 rep fit regens in 7 but is surely noticeably less sturdy. A single enhanced plate gives a negligible movement penalty.
Even if 5 reps is a dubious proposition, at least our glorious saviour Rattati is wise to the Gallente ways rather than being an armour stacking Amarr wannabe. 
The forums have ruined me.
