I'm also torn about whether I should use RL+Griffon or Shade+R3... I'm also torn between the SATYROS and the MV... I'm also deciding between the Side Shields or Relation Missiles.

If it was up to me, I go with Macaque, RL+Griff, MV, and Relations.
Macaque over S3 because of better response time and accuracy.
RL+Griffon because of greater damage per hit, and also because it combines shell with energy damage. That way, you get the best of both worlds. You have hangers, you don't need to worry about ammo... much. Also, Griffon is quite accurate, more so than the R3.
MV over Satyros. Although the Sats are cool, and lock on much much faster than the MVs, verts are killer in LR. They pound the enemy into the ground and stun them while they're at it. Sets them up perfectly for an RL shot, followed by one from the Griffon. :tongue:
Finally, I'd pick relations over side shields. In SL, if you equipped side shields and a front shield, there was a bug that made it as if you had a shield all around your AC... like a 100% protection sphere or something. Starting from NX, side shields only protect, well, from the side. And in LR, I think even though the number stayed the same, I believe their coverage area went down a bit. So unless you're charging at the enemy often and are prone to being flanked (and I've already seen how you play, and you're definitely not like that), I don't see much use of them for you. You'll get more out of the relations. But eh, if you really want that extra defense, well that's up to you.
