I have the APEX serpent scout (aurum version, bought it on day 1 of availability). When I bought it I had ADV Gal scout skills and SG proficiency 3 or 4. (Cores are maxed). At that time, the suit was okay, keeping in mind that CCP has changed the load out slightly since initial - no more RE's. It wasn't as good a fit as I could make on my G/1, but it was acceptable.
Since then, I've skilled out of Gal scout and SG on this toon, and running the APEX serpent scout now is a chore. It seems without the skills behind it, it's just not as good a performer. It still works.......it's just not up to my expectations.
I don't know anything about the Gal heavy, though.
This really is a decision based on your individual wants. I would, however, consider what skills you have to back stop the fitting. Given your tenure here, though, I'm guessing you have the skills for pretty much any fit.

On the contrary, all my skills were in derpshiping. zero proto suits/weapons. While im slowly farming my core, i did throw in some skills randomly into weapons. My goal is to make these apex suits decent to have some fun on the ground since flying hasnt been... as fun. I want the gal fatty as a substitute for the militia AV bpo. I want the gal scout for its slaying capabilities and speed. Eventually i'll get both. but for right now im looking for the one that will keep me entertained while I grind for the other. Makes sense? hence, dilemma
Oh, well then.
The APEX gal scout speed is so-so for a gal scout - personally, I like G/1 or gk.0 with a complex kin cat for sprinting in the 8+ m/s range.
The std cloak is next to worthless and the dampeners on it won't hide you from much. So you will have to be stealthy.
Up close kills with the SG are no problem, but how well you can jump, bob and weave will determine how well you can kill with it on the move.
If you're good with a pistol the Ion Pistol will work for you; if you're not, well then good luck.
The suit comes with some sorry a55, near MLT grade uplinks. You can get points off of them, but only if no one else is putting out links.
