I was more leaning to Crab Spider because i have made a couple of stalkers (That is what i thought bane spiders were like) and they are too squishy to solo. So i thought why would i pick a stalker type guy when i can take a scrapper type guy. But then you said that they are more like tanks i said noooo, i hate tanks (No effense to those people out there who are tank junkies). So thank you for the post.

Dude...
1. Banes are way more survivable than stalkers. I've easily wiped 10 even con longbow without taking a dip in my hp. Their regular attacks put on the hurt, easy.
2. Crabs are not like tanks. They can up their defense pretty high, but they really are tank-mages. They have tons of aoe when used in the right order lay down a destructive volley. They however, take some time taking down single targets and bosses.
A bane is a scrapper stalker hybrid.
A crab is a scrapper with ranged attacks.
My bane is more survivable than my crab. Because he uses DEF instead of RES. And my bane starts taking out enemies sooner. At the beginning of the fight, I already automatically take out one enemy. Then a couple of attacks takes out the next. Whereas my crab is taking a beating from all of them until all of them are dead.
