My comment is based on pve- go with WP. Stone melee is somewhat thirsty, so Quick Recovery will allow you some relief. Also, with all of the mitigation included in SM, Rttc will be supercharged most of the time.
Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

Forget armor set!
Pick a Control Set and grab Earth Assault! 
If that doesn't work...WP! You can never go wrong with WP!

Elec/Stone
Good resistances(better than def in pvp) including end drain, recovery debuffs, psi, slows and tp. Great end recovery, some regen, recharge, and a heal.
My Stone melee/Invul Kicks complete as$ in Pve, Its like a good tanker with the strength of stone. pvp im not too sure on tbh. Yes its end heavy ish, but with the correct smart IO;n urll get no problems
I have to agree with SinisterDirge. Stone/ELA is an awesome combo. It provides extra recovery, recharge and AoE damage - basically everything that stone kinda lacks.
If you don't like elec, however, willpower is your second best choice.

Stone/Invuln Brute
Iv read the following posts, and so far I still havnt made up my mind between the ATs and the armor sets.
I guess im a bit hesitant on picking a Brute because Fury seemed annoying in the past when I tried it.
I like the Idea of Invln, but iv never been able to get into it for some reason.Its prolly because iv seen so many Tankers over the years fail at holding agro using it.
I may make a Spine/Elec Scrapper and think about the armor set and AT issue im still having here.

I agree. Stone with Elec. That stone melee set takes forever to recharge the attacks. With electric there is a built in power to speed up recharge, plus, you get power sink so you don't have to worry so much about End.

@Joshua.
I have seen some Stone/Electric brutes that are just beasts in PvE and in "fite klub" style PvP. Very good synergy in the sets.

Not certain about your experience, FM, but part of this 'problem' may be because Invulnerability doesn't get its Taunt-aura until level 18 - and I've run into many newbies who don't understand which powers are important. Most Tankers (IME) don't get 'good' until after L22 and SOs, at which point everything smooths out and they become genuinely tough, taunting, aggro-magnets that can take a beating and Like it.|

I have been playing my Stone/Inv brute since Villains first launched.
I have loved every minute of it.
Hmmm, I may give Inlvn a try with Stone melee...but which AT?
Brute. It lets stone melee's damage really shine.
Im debating on making either a Brute or a Tanker with Stone Melee.I havnt decided on the Armor Set yet either.
I want it to be for PvE and PvP, any suggjestions?
