The Crab and the Corruptor can both be good. Patron doesn't really matter per se, what does matter is the build as a whole, and of course the player behind it.
I would recommend you respec your therm to BS for the AoE immobilize, which tends to help the Brute hold the aggro better against the Phalanx in the last mission.
All of them should be able to contribute, though I'd probably err on the vanilla brute if people are expecting you to main tank and your team is not saturated in support ATs.
That said no one is going to deny a fire/therm corr a spot.

Thermal > Crab > Brute
Assuming all built and played equally well.

With all my alts I'd look at the rest of the team and just pick whatever rounds it off. I don't like things too eas as then there is little in the way of suspense.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Depends on your team.
If you don't have many buffs on the team then the Therm.
If your team needs more Damage then go Crab.
Brute wouldn't be a bad choice if you absolutely need a person to get punched in the face.

Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:

As many have said, the Corruptor is likely to be the most useful to the largest number of teams, then the Crab (because -resistance is fun), and then the Brute.
Or you could make an Ill/Rad Praetorian Controller in about a week and take them redside.

If its a MO- ill nvr be happy with the elec brute.
but normal runs all are fine to use in them...just research the avs you fight and make sure your built for them.
just use a healbot, thats all bad teams want anyways....

Hi, all.
I currently have three Level 50 villains on Triumph, and I want to do the Recluse SF. None of them are super duper IO'd beasts. Which one is going to contribute the most to a Recluse SF?
I took the Patrons solely on the basis of doing new content rather than maximizing character effectiveness. The Crab and Elec/Elec Brute have none of their patron powers, but as I haven't used their alt builds if it turns out I absolutely have to take a patron power in order for the SF to have a prayer of success I can do that.
Elec/Elec Brute who has both Tough and Taunt. Patron is Black Scorpion.
Fire/Therm Corruptor. Patron is Mako. Has three of the Patron powers I think. The immobilize, the hold, and Hibernate.
Crab Soldier. Patron is Scirocco. Has all the toggles, nuke, venom grenade, and surpressive fire.
