I switched from Cal Assault to Cal Logi during the respec because I'm not going to run a suit that is clearly inferior. I've become so dependent on my gear slots I don't think I'd switch back even if assault somehow was made better for combat. Luckily I don't have any regrets over the change, and the fact that it's still as good as an assault suit for killing stuff is icing on the cake. The .3 speed loss is the only thing that makes me really sad as I run speed mods, and that's going to be a considerable speed loss.
Anyways I put on the Cal-Logi because it was the best suit in the game, I'm still not convinced it still won't be in 1.3 |

There is none.
Logi suits are straight up better.
If I was commanding a PC battle I would say "Go logi or go home".
I'd assume (or hope) that people are using what they're using because it's what they like and find it fun since this is a game after all. I see plenty of assaults, heavies, and scouts in game and most of them are getting along just fine even if some of their suit bonuses are a bit underpowered. It's not like they're going to stay underpowered forever.
The Cal-Logi has been superior at killing things than the Cal-Assault for over two months already, probably three months when it gets fixed. Even when it is fixed it will still be pretty damn close and you will get extra gear for running it. Any assaults who picked the assault class because it's the role they like to play have been tricked. Even if they do finally fix it you can change to the 'class' you like to play after saving up for a while.
Always pick the suit that will do the job you want based on the stats, don't trust the 'class' names. |

Only half true after the 1.3 nerf.
It's like you can pick an assault suit that can do the assault job, or you can pick a near identical suit that can cross-class as logistics. 
If you are not into free gear slots then there is a great selection of assault suits.  |
