On an SO only build, I would say SR or Invuln. Unless you're ok with waiting 31 levels to get good, and then become unkillable. Then I'd go with stone. But your damage will stink.

I'm patient...but not that patient. Thanks!
Some tanks could be considered late developers depending on what levels you like to face or what kind of a team your lumbered with. Sometimes dying isn't considered what a tanker does so having to use something like rise of the phoenix means that you've failed somehow.
I don't think its so much what you pick with SOs its how you slot, I've tanked with all even with Brute versions. I think the latest developer in terms of confident play was my Elec but as a Brute but even that's been buffed since.
When I look at my Ice, or Ice tanks of my mates and see how little to no debt badges been had that's probably saying something.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Well, yeah, unquestionably, doing the job is the surest proof.
By the way, I always enjoy seeing the Sima Qian quote in your sig file. Records of the Grand Historian was one of my favorite readings in Chinese history studies.
Any. Inv, Stone, and WP are probably going to be at the top on just SO's. Elec, SR, Dark, Ice, and Shields after that. Fire would bring up the rear, but still be more than capable if played well.
Electric, Ice, and Dark probably bring the most variety/utility to bear, and all 3 would bring some extra AoE damage.
SR is the fast horse out of the gate for tanker primaries. Willpower isn't bad either with plenty of end recovery coming early with QR.
Inv/ WP/ Elec/ SR/ in that order for my recommendations, but if you're soloing, go with Elec/ or Fire/. You're not likely going to need the extra survivability solo.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Thanks! Helpful stuff.
