If you're in Zone a lot it's hard to say that you "need" helmet Crash over Ball Hawk or any of the other VA's.
Morale is almost useless and Helmet Crash doesn't boost the chance for fumbles.
If you're in zone a lot, you need Ball Hawk.
If you want to force fumbles you need Power Tackler.
If you want to tackle on more than wrap up you need Sure Tackler
If you want to force fumbles on ST's, you need special Teamer
If you want to get a 6-8 point boost to tackling, you need Textbook Tackler.
With Helmet Crash maxed and 13 Monster hit, in games where I could see morale and energy on both sides the max morale loss I saw from monster hit was ~3. Not really worth it when you compare the benefits it gives compared to other SA's. I do have it on one of my HH SS's. But it's because he's not in zone enough for him to need Ball Hawk. A safeties main function is to be able to cover the deep passes and to be a sure tackler as the last line of defense. No matter what you try to achieve with your SS's you need to be also able to do these two duties otherwise you'll relegate your player to Special Teams Only.
