Im trying to figure out what the best gear for lvl 40/41 op is mainly for pve.

I play most of my maps using Plat Armour + Blackstar Plat Shield + Nova + Dodge D-2 Implant - I have Total Dodge of 41, damage [69-107 dps 126], armour 645, hit 110%, crit 9, dex 199 with this setup.

Another setup I like is plat armour + custom or plat Tuturra's + Condor Eye Damage Implant
I have only 29 dodge with this but the damage [70-104 Dps 174], armour 435, hit 114, crit 5, dex 206

I have noticed that I end up using a LOTTA stims with the 2nd setup becoz the armour is so low and low dodge, but the amount of damage i deal is very high. I still prefer the first setup becoz i hate blowing creds on stims and you dont always get good engi's in a group.

So my question to u guys is, what do YOU prefer from experience? What is the most effective Armour + weapons + implants for an Op?
