Actually, it depends on the purpose.

For all-around awesomeness, I'd suggest the Assault; which is basically a perm Balanced Vest except it gives you both speed AND protection.

For tanking purposes (or near-invincibility in QR in exchange for loss of nearly all mobility), then I'd say go with the Tanker Vest.
