Knowing what your goals are for the character would help a lot.

If you are aiming to do DPS, a Scrapper or Brute would be better. If you are wanting to tank almost anything, your defenses should be more spread out so you can cover the most common damage types: S/L and energy. If you only want to farm, you may only need fire defense because you should be playing against fire-based critters in Architect Entertainment.

High amounts of melee and S/L defense doesn't do you much good. Most melee attacks have S/L damage in them, and the game only looks at your highest defense value. Avoid using sets that give more S/L defense than melee if you are going for melee defense, and the other way around. Basically, pick one, not both.

Gaussian's is a good set if you are going for positional defense, but very inefficient per slot spent if you are going for typed defense.
