Just wondering which is the best solo build, as in what primary and secondery are great for solo pve or pvp and which does the most damage.
Hope someone can help and cheers.

Given you mention both PvE and PvP, are you looking for a hybrid build that could do both? Or a couple of different characters?
If you want one character that will be workable in both, I'd go Sonic or Ice for the primary. Both have good single-target damage, and good secondary effects. Sonic suffers a little in PvP from Shout being a bit slow (although it's nothing that'll ruin PvP for you), but the -res is great, and you'll storm through PvE.
As far as a secondary that can do both, I'd think Rad or Dark are the obvious ones. They're never going to do as much damage as a Kin later on, in PvE, but they're a lot safer, they have a lot more tricks up their sleeves. And in PvP, Kins can be great against certain things solo, but I thikn they suffer a little from not having many way to protect themselves. The heal is more difficult to use, there are no tohit debuffs, and so on - I think Kins really shines more in teams.
Really though, you can make a lot of different things work solo - a lot of it comes down to what fits your playstyle, and how you build it. If you like Cold or Kin and purely want to solo, you can drop out the team buffs to pick up things more useful for soloing. Thermals can make good duelers, even if they really look like team characters at first glance - they're great against Regens. I think you'd have to work a lot harder, though, and if what you're looking for is really feeling quite good against a wide range of opponents, and not having too hard a time surviving fights, then those probably won't be what you're after.
