Of those I'd lean towards the SS/Shield Brute. Good survivability, good aoe damage, good single target damage, +to hit for higher conning foes, good soft control. But the best advices I can give is the one that you enjoy playing the most. Expensive IOs won't make a hero you don't like much into one that you do.

The Spines/Fire and SS/Shield would be awesome combos to pimp out for your stated purpose. Or you could combine them and make a SS/Fire to get the best of both worlds. I think the best bet is to narrow down what you want to play, then ask about how to IO that specific character.

Fire/Rad Corruptor or Controller (I think this is becoming a trend now)

The SS/Shield Brute.
The Spines/Fire doesn't have a taunt aura, which makes farming a little bit annoying.
For speed farming the SS brute is probally the best but for all around slaughter I'd go with the DM/SD scrapper
The more people I meet, the more I'm beginning to root for the zombies.
quite like my wp/dm tanker - it can handle x8 spawns quite easily, only downside atm is its not exactly fast at taking them down, but then I haven't quite finished pimping her out yet.

SS/Shield Brute or Spines/Fire Scrapper.
I have a fully IO'd spines/fire. It doesnt really impress me. Against Demons, it does good but other than that, blah, imo.
I'd go with the DM/Inv. Of your choices. Or SD/Mace for the other of yours. Im working on one of those atm. May want to try an Ice tank. I don't see many of those. Im gonna go with Ice/Kin melee after the SD, just to try it out. SnL and NRG are looking easy to cap. 
SS/Shield Brute
Footstomp + Shield Charge = Happy Dance of destruction.

Yeah, pretty much exactly this. What matters isn't whether a given combo sounds awesome on paper; what matters is whether you enjoy playing it. If you don't, making it more powerful may not improve your gameplay experience at all.

It doesn't cost a lot to be nice and reply to tells
DM/Shield Farming
Let this help you decide about dm/shield scrapper. 
( Link to youtube. )
You mentioned Mace so I might go with a Mace/Shield Brute. Not really in love with your existing options, to be honest.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

Nice Vid. I have an Elec/SD scrapper IO'd but DM looks like it does more damage than Electric. (not the charges, just the attacks)
