I ran the Caldari Assault two ways. I ran it the way my Caldari friends and forum goers told me to run it and I ran it the way the guys in Gallente FW and my Minmatar friends told me to run it. Both are for an advanced Caldari Assault.
-Caldari/Forum Recommendation:
1X Complex Shield extender
2X Enhanced Shield extenders
1X Enhanced Recharger
2X Shield Regulators
Advanced RR
Standard MagSec SMG
M1 Locus Grenade
Standard Nanohive
-Gallente/Minmatar Recommendation
2X Complex Damage Modifers
2X Advanced Precision Enhancers
2X Enhanced Range Extenders
Duvolle AR
Standard Nova Knives
C-7 Flux Grenades
Standard Nanohives
After spending a good 20+ games on each fit, I have something to say.
-The Gallente/Minmatar class worked A LOT better. With the Caldari/Forum reccomendation I struggled to pull off a 2KD most games and struggled to fight off against most players at all ranges. Even at long ranges I tended to melted by Scrambler Rifle fire, Laser Rifles and Tactical AR's. CQC was harder then using a Minmatar Scout with no modules. It seems like there is a heavy in every hallway and a scout in every corner. Most of my kills were either lucky kills where we both had sub 20 armor left or I stole someone's kill from long range. I rarely had fights I dominated (outside of militia scrubs who die to a passing breeze).
-The Gallente/Minmatar class was a lot more practical. I only had the base HP on my suit but I found this was not an issue since I was able to detect my oponents way before we met, which meant I was able to get in advantageous positions to reduce the target's visibility on me while maximizing my view on them. By having a very high DPS primary weapon I was able to cleave through logis and subsequently the heavies they were supporting all in one magazine. Militia suits also fell fast allowing me to focus on more dangerous targets. Scouts also became a non issue. My largest amount of deaths in this suit came from vehicles.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the results derived from these first hand experiences.

proto damage mod AR > advanced RR
Doesn't surprise me at all.
I've never really liked shield recharging suits of any flavor -- I've always found stacking HP (often with a damage mod or two) more effective with my aggressive playstyle. YMMV.
I had no HP mods though.

I run a very simple fit, and I am just fine. I stay out of CQC and stay at my range. (But ScR seems to be a problems, as it dominates all ranges.) Lasers hurt, yes, but so does my BP.
Anyway, maybe it just isn't your playstyle.
I'm more of the cautious defensive player.

People with scanners will scan better, also with that little hp on assault you're done after few shoots. Cal scout [more hp/better ewar than those kind of fits] is better at that job [lite ewar assault]. This, I really don't understand why people keep trying to make ewar assaults, but I won't complain just makes em easier to kill. Wall hacks don't matter if there's rarely a wall between us my friend... We are assault suits... not scouts. I'll take a damage mod or a kincat any day over ewar if I won't simply go for more e/hp or regen/rep. I mean hell one decent active scanner that someone is carrying on your team ruins all the Ewar assaults.
EWAR has always been usable on Assaults, people just don't try.
