Speaking as an Electric/Martial Arts newbie (level 25 currently)...
I'd go for Spirtual. Better uptime on Energise, plus better healing, plus more endurance due to better recharge on Power Sink.
Cardiac will give you the extra resistance, but the extra end reduction will be wasted. It seems to me you're already overflowin on endurance management tools.
You armors that are three slotted with Aegis - do they cap out your resistance? If not, does replacing the triple with a Rech/Res do the trick? It would be a shame to lose a few points since Electric Armour has such good resists. I doubt you need the extra end reduction. I doubt you need Physical Perfection even, but I'm a low maintenance endurance player who doesn't mind my bar dropping quite a bit.
For the Gladiator's Armor, save up your Hero Merits. Run weekly task forces and convert the merits, and race through the signature arc each week. It can be a long term goal if you like.
Otherwise, loooking good.

I think the resistances are pretty good where they are. I haven't really stress tested it yet need to get on an ITF sometime). Swapping out the triple Aegis for res/rech only adds about 2% enhancement value.|

Spiritual, it is, though! And I'm thinking Rebirth to use when Energize is recharging.
And I was completely unaware you could convert reward merits to alignment merits. Exciting! Thanks for the insights!

No worries. Ill have to consider that Aegis slotting for my own Tanker - Im working on typed defence mainly but it still applies.
And 50 merits + 20 million inf = 1 alignment merit, do-able once per day. It can definitely up your accumulation rate.
Hi all. Finally able to create an official Elec/Ma build in Mids. This tank is currently level 44 and has a majority of the IOs listed in the build. Things like the positional defense I don't want to deviate from as I have all of those IOs, already. So far she has been a very successful tank. Solo she's able to take on AVs (except ones like Marauder with higher smash resists) and on teams she's been quite survivable using just lucks and storm kick to emulate the final build's defense numbers.
A note on that Glad. Armor. I'm most likely not going to get it and just settle for ~40% defense as I feel it will be sufficient solo and team buffs would easily make up the difference. So if you feel I could use that slot elsewhere, I'm open to suggestions.
Finally, I'm still debating Incarnate slotting. Alpha is a toss up between Spiritual Radial for more Energize uptime and more Acc from FA or Cardiac Core for endredux and pushing s/l resist over 80%. The other iSlots I have no idea what to do with. Thoughts?
