Well, on the secondary, I like sr. It doesn't have a psi hole like invuln, and is very easy to softcap. Mine is level 28 and near softcap off just SOs and weave.
As for MA, nothing really makes it special to me. I'm thinking of rerolling my MA/SR as a Claws.
I love Martial Arts, was about to roll up another one, but...with the news of new alternate animations for Martial Arts...I just have to wait. 
I want 50 lvls of new animations (thought I have a feeling I'll keep some of the old ones...*waves bye-bye to at least CaK*)
As for which secondary. INV will cause a gap because of Dull Pain, but that's not as often as your gaps with Claws/Regen.
I'd say go on concept and run with it

To be fair, /SR has a psi hole to 3 psi attacks with no ranged dmg type.

Martial Arts is really fun =]
It looks awesome, if anything. As for a secondary, I'd go with Willpower. But if you'd rather not repeat a set, you could try Regen. My MA/Regen Stalker is pretty damn good... but then again she's a Stalker, not a Scrapper. They're different. A nice thing about MA is that there is no redraw penalty when using other powers. So it won't "interrupt" as much.
But if you *Still* don't like Regen, you can give SR a whirl. It's a late bloomer, and you'll want to smash your keyboard for a good 30 levels... but after that, it's amazing.
My last suggestion is Invuln. Good survivability against all but psi, and very basic (not clicky)... like WP (with the exception of dull pain). You'll probably run into Endurance problems, though. That is what always makes me look at Regen and WP
Thank you for the input! Think i will be trying out the /SR !!
I have played COH for a long time now. Mostly I tend to play Defenders, and tend to read mostly the defender boards, but found a second love in the scrapper archetype. Something about the laying waste to anything that gets in my way and needing little to no support to accomplish that.
I play on thematic principles mostly and more for fun than end numbers, the best types of IOs, or speed leveling through architect missions.... which leads me to my question.
I am rolling a MA scrapper. The secondary I am still up in the air about between Inv and SR. Any recommendations between each secondary, and the reason why I should go for one or the other? I should note, I will be mostly soloing with this toon.
I have a 50 DB / WP scrapper that I just LOVE, (OMG is he fun) and a mid 30s Claw / Regen that I like, but the secondary tends to "cause interrupts in my attack chain" I suppose is a polite way to say it.
I appreciate any discussion / recommendation on the secondary, as well as info on what to expect out of Martial Arts as a primary.
