All of those can handle most enemy types at 0/x4 at 50 (my minimum threshold for determining if a brute was a waste of time to level or not). They're all pretty squishy (by brute standards, which means they're still tougher than a scrapper with those armors), though, and lacking mitigation with their primaries so expect some interesting times.
/soul is a big help for any resistance based defensive set. I'm a big fan of the -to hit and -dam in darkest night. Mixing and matching I'd go with fire/fire/soul taking air superiority to help with bosses pre-darkest night (it's a long trip getting to it, after all).
I hate fire/electric with a passion - but that was long before energize. Still not convinced that energize would be up to the task of keeping a zero mitigation (besides dead, the best mez to put on a mob in the game) primary on their feet. Electric melee is flashy but because of the recharge times on their aoes I think fire sword circle is better over time than the entire set. Still, it is pretty and while you'll hear 'low single target damage' thats really 'low single target damage for a *brute*'. It makes a difference.
Fire is my favorite melee set, for the record. I have a fire/stone brute, a fire/shield scrapper, a fire/sr brute, and an inv/fire tanker. So take a little bit of bias into account. 
Weight training: Because you'll never hear someone lament "If only I were weaker, I could have saved them."

They are all good choices and will do just fine at +0x4 with some descent IO slotting. The Electric/Electric/Mu will probably be the toughest once you learn how to leverage endurance drain. Because your goal is to run at +0, you will be very effective at sapping enemies with that combo.|

The Fire/Fire/Pyre will kill stuff much faster, but will also be quite a bit squishier because there is no mitigation from the primary. It too would do just fine and would be a great combo if you have never tried a set with a self rez.
I would stick to one of those 2 combos out of the 3 that you posted.
Sweet. Thank you for the help guys.
I will remain a soldier until the war is won.
Crap sorry I should have said 3 combos in the title. I'm sorry. :/ I can post builds if you guy's want.
Ok so after 2 months of being back and 95% of that spent making builds -.-. As you know I asked about brute or tanker before and settling for brute thanks to the forums, im now finally able to narrow it down to 3 builds. I was hoping to get some advice on which to go.
I would liek to be decent at st/aoe/farming but lean more towards aoe and mass carnage but, be able to survive decently well and get some badges and what not. Not THE best at anything. Not looking to do +4/x8, maybe like +0-1/x4-6 I like all 3 and enjoy them all. It's between:
fire/fire/pyre
electric/electric/mu
fire/electric/soul
