What to pick?

Hello everyone, i'm playing the heroside for a while now and want to get some villains to 50. As my main character i'd really like a brute but i can't choose. I've narrowed it down to three. I want to be able to solo good but also have very nice damage in teams and be able to take the damage.
Would you guys recommend fire/inv, claws/inv or stone/ela ( or maybe something else?)

Stone/ELA would arguably be the most powerful and have the most synergy.

Between Fire/Invuln and Claws/Invuln, I'd probably go with Fire. Invulnerability is a very powerful defensive set and you should take advantage of its potency by taking a primary that offers absolutely no mitigation and pure damage instead-- which is basically Fire Melee.

I have a stone/ela 50 and I it was excellent fun leveling, with the only exception that he felt a bit squishy in in the 30s until he got tough. But that should be remedied with the new Energize power.

As SM/ you have excellent mitigation in the form of knockdowns and Fault, and you have one of the strongest single-target damage capabilities. You get your first and only AoE damage power at 32 - some love it, some hate it, I love it despite its long activation time. /Ela will give you increased damage output, blow away all your endurance worries (very important with SM) and give you a 20% boost in global recharge which is a huge bonus.

My endgame build is specced for AoE damage (via patron powers) and recharge, and its a beast.
