Minmatar vs. Gallente? That's the age-old question. And I shall answer it.
Let's looks at the Racial Bonuses.
Scout Bonus: 5% Reduction to Scan Profile per level.
Minmatar Scout Bonus: +5% to melee and Nova Knife Damage per level.
Gallente Scout Bonus: +10% to Dropsuit Scan Radius per level.
So looking at those, we can judge on what we want to use, based on our role. But this might not be enough. What if you want to see what'd be better for something that needs speed AND durability? Or you want to make something that will easily close the distance between you and your enemy.
Here are the Speed + eHP Statistics for both of the Scouts.
These statistics might be outdated, I'll edit when I confirm it. :)
Gallente:
Shield: 100
Armor: 90
Sprint Speed: 7.84 m/s. This is 12% faster than an Assault suit with no modules.
Minmatar: Will Edit In when I find them. Basically, he's less durable but faster.
Shield: N/A
Armor: N/A
Sprint Speed: N/A
Now that we see the most important statistics for a Scout: Let's see how we can put them to use. First question: Where can the bonuses be put to use? A Gallente Scout's bonus can be pretty useful for Sniping. BUT, also keep in mind, it'd make a very good Hunter. If you're looking for reds, a higher Scan Radius can help you find them.
A Minmatar Scout Bonus is useful for CQC. Simple as that. You won't really need Nova Knives or Melee anywhere but. They still have the Scan Profile decrease, as well. However, the low health means that if you head straight on, you'll die a hell of a lot faster. It's better for doing some 'knife-in-the-back' gameplay.
Looking at the Speed of the Scouts, we see that the Minmatar is faster. This will be better for closing distance on your enemy, exactly for CQC. But the Gallente Scout is better for filling a Hunter/Sniper role, by using increased Scan Radius. To give you an idea on the minimap Scan Radius and how it affects gameplay, here you go: http://s23.postimg.org/vzroe12fv/minimap_ranges.jpg
So I hope this helped. if I had to make a suggestion: I like Gallente more. It works for CQC, and speed isn't really a huge decrease. Nova Knives and Melee is a rarely useful tool, unless you can use it perfectly (If you can, props to you!), so Minmatar bonus is useless to me. And the health is a bit better. I'll edit anything missing into here. :) |

I can't tell you how many tabs I had to open to get all that done. And I'm still not finished. |

Glad I could help. I'm always happy to be of service! :)
EDIT: If you want any more information, check out BSoTT (My Corp). I'm on often, and I love to squad with my fellow students. |

Ok, I was trying to help the person that asked. Don't need to hate on me because I was explaining the things I know.
EDIT: There, added it. Anyone got the slots for Minmatar Scout? |

It's a style of playing that's hard to master, but it's still fun. I don't snipe, and I don't go shotgun unless it's a city map (I use an AR). Instead of just chilling near the redline or in some hidden place, I move around the frontlines, call out groups of enemies for my squad mates, start raining hell, then disappear. I've seen people rock a Minmatar suit with no problems, but usually they only use their proto suits. I haven't unlocked my Gallente proto scout, but I know it will be awesome (Yes, I know it only has one high powered slot - I only need one).
Thanks for the Stats. They've been insterted. :)
Yea, I like Gallente Scouts. More eHP is not a bad downside for the -0.3 Sprint Speed... But I don't often run scouts. I like to run scouts for the mobility (The speed decrease that the Logistics have makes me feel fat compared to Scouts...), and the stealth. I'm never really good at it though. I'm good at finding playstyles, and learning new ones, but every time I try to flank the enemy, or go out with red-spotting, a Proto-Assault always seems to know where I am.
What would you do with your 1 High Slot? I think I'd try to give myself a small eHP Buff and just put in a Complex Shield Module, but I'm terrible at fitting Scouts. I'm not remembering all of the modules... Hm. Ok, yea. I think Shielding. |

Really? If you're sniping, how will you see the Shotgun Scout running up to you? It's so you can make sure nothing is coming up to you. "Scan Precision also does that." Yea, but your base Radius is 10m. If you look at the picture, that's not very far on the minimap. You won't have time to run. |

Every other suit has a base scan radius of 5m. |

Then I was given false information. I apologize. No need to hate because I try to help people. |

Yea... I like Nova Knives, they're fun. But my playstyle forbids me from using them. Glad you like it though. :D |
