Base level AE for a LG balanced offense:

for 1 piece of equipment:
+2 strength, +1 Absorb Pain SA or
+1 Get Low SA or
+1 agility, +1 Foundation SA

and

For another piece of equipment:
+3 blocking, +1 Pancake SA or
+3 blocking, +1 Shock Block SA

What's your Str / Blk?

For the first piece I'd take the Str / Absorb Pain

For the second, Pancake if Str-based (110 Str), if not the other tempts me.

strength and blocking 83 w/out equipment; strength 110, blocking 90 w/ equipment

he gets pancakes so the pancake AE looks even better now

First piece:
+1 AGI, +1 Foundation (Foundation is great, so you want it at 10/11)

Second piece:
+3 BLO, +1 Pancake SA (saves a lot of points in the run block tree)

I'd take foundation and shock block pieces. Because those are the only SAs I'd ever spend on a LG. You could do 1-2-4-4 in SAs (15 skill points) and after those pieces are upgraded, be at 10 shock block and 10 foundation.

You'd need an entire extra 15 skill point investment to get 10 in pancake, an SA I've never seen actually help somebody get more pancakes, and then you'd be way behind on shock block/foundation the two actually important SAs for the LG position, and need to spend an extra 19 skill points to get that one back to 10.

I think 15 skill points for 10 shock block/10 foundation is better than 49 skill points to add 10 pancake on top of that. Of course you could forgo shock block or foundation, but I just think those are vital anyway.
