Personally I would go for either Katana, Broadsword or Dark Melee with SR, they seem to have the most synergy (def buff/to hit debuff)

They do? Not that there's anything wrong with Regen, but I'd call it middle of the road. Comes out of the gate great due to Quick Recovery, but for the whole 1-50 experience, I think there are stronger soloing sets, particularly if you understand endurance management. And all Scrappers solo well, so it's hardly an issue even if you take the worst soloing secondary, whatever that might be.|

Dark Melee is great for Super Reflexes, as one thing Super Reflexes can really use is a heal. But the heal requires you to stay in melee range, so doesn't lend itself well to jumping around.
Katana or Broad Sword help with the normally late-blooming nature of the Super Reflexes secondary by allowing you to soft cap your melee defense early. Again, they benefit from staying in melee range, so probably aren't ideal.
So I'd recommend a classic - Claws/Super Reflexes. It'll bloom late, but it can be a very kinetic build, hopping around to take best advantage of ranged, cone, PBAoE and other attacks, as well as simply hopping around to even further reduce the number of incoming attacks.

My vote goes for Dark Melee or Claws. Both can do excellent single target damage. Claws has better AoE but Dark Melee gets the heal.
Wait a couple weeks and go Kinetic Melee/Super Reflexes.
You can thank me later.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
I have been looking at scrapper builds, and for thematic reasons, I'm quite tempted by Super Reflexes (and also some jumping stuff later).
But what's a good primary to go with SR? I expect to try to solo things a fair bit of the time, so some capability for soloing would be nice. (I know everyone says to use /regen for soloing, but thematically, SR is a really good fit.) I think I slightly prefer non-weapon sets, but it's negotiable; in particular, claws/sr seems plausible to me.
Tips? Hints? Builds I should be looking at? Spines looks problematic -- only the "metallic" spines set is at all compatible with the theme, and even that seems a bit like it wouldn't really fit super well.
