I think most people would recommend WP, because it ends up being a relatively easy secondary to play for new brutes. In the mid to late game they actually are far from squishy, especially if you IO them out. DM\WP seems to be universally known as bruting on easy mode since you get good single target damage, heals\regen + endurance recovery in both primary and secondary and it has -tohit debuff . After dm...super strength is probably the most common thing paired with it which gives some decent damage mitigation to let the regen kick in.
The Porcelain God - DarkKinetics Corruptor
Meat Juice - DarkDarkSoul Brute
Pretty and Strong - Do you really have to ask?

I think you'll do fine with either as your first choice. My first brute was a SS/Inv and I really liked it. I'm currently leveling an axe/WP and that's really good too. SS with either should be just fine.

Is a SS/WP or SS/Invuln Brute good choice for a first time redsider?
I have played with both WP and Invuln powersets blueside on both Tanks and Scrappers, and I have noticed that WP seems to struggle a little more than Invuln against the very high end, late game content. Is this also true redside? Thanks for your input |

As an exclusive redside player I say welcome to the rogue isles! It's dirty and broken but it's home to me 
My first 50 was a EM/WP Brute, and he's totally unstoppable. Stamina and quick recovery will make sure you always have end. I'd reccomend claws for a primary. It's new, it's sexy, and it might be nerfed for being too awesome eventually so rip it up while you can!
Try a mastermind when you get a chance too, they're fun!
2x post, my bad =P
Thanks for the info. I ended up starting 2 Brutes: a SS/WP and a DM/WP. I figured I compare the two and see how things go.
