Either Spiritual or Cardiac.
If you have no end issues, I'd go Spiritual.

On my Fire/SS/Pyre tanker I went Cardiac, it has made a *huge* difference for me. I'm not going any further than the first tier probably, since I just farm with the toon for the most part, but it works nicely.
I went Cardiac on my SS/Fire/Pyre Brute and it helps an awful lot. Yes, I have Consume but with the Cardiarc I hardly ever touch it now. The Uncommon will boost help the lower Resist values a little as well.
Of course, given that you can swap Alpha boosts in and out, you could always craft a Spiritual too and swap them in and out depending on what you need.

Hmm, Cardiac seems to be a common theme here and yes, it would help with the end draining quite nicely but what about the Musculature boost?
Is it that 'bad' or are the others just that much better in comparison? As granted, even at the higher tiers the damage boost wouldn't be that big, but still.. it would provide some benefit.
Part of me does want the Spiritual boost since the few AoEs that i have, seem to charge sluggishly at times.
But the Cardiac one.. it would probably be the best one, as i know it made a huge difference on my Bane, with him never running out of endurance now.
Feh, decisions decisions.. endurance or recharge, recharge or endurance?

Cardiac is head and shoulders more beneficial to your build. The dmg you will be dealing is massive already, so musculature is really not so attractive now because the return is small. Recharge... dont worry about it, with global recharge at even 70+ you will be fine.
Cardiac solves many of the end issues you will face. I roll a lot faster on my brute since Cardiac.

Make all IO's available in Paragon Market! NCSoft, the chinese are making BIG money selling influence and other stuff in the game. Best way to stop them = make the paragon market a place to buy all IO's and perhaps other things as well.

Exactly this. I've been doing the same with all of my damage dealers. If your damage is already ED capped, then adding Musculature is not going to improve it that much. Whereas most powers in my build are not capped for Endurance Reduction or Recharge (except things like Rage or Fiery Embrace). So Alpha slotting for either of those values has a greater return than adding a tiny fraction more damage.

Cardiac seems like the most popular boost to go with and considering it'd let me to smash without endurance worries, at least for most parts.
So thanks for the replies folks, as i think i'll go with it, the Cardiac boost that is.. as am still gathering up the needed shards and while i grind those out, can run a mission or three to see how bad my true endurance consumption is without it when going all out smashy!
