I would go with Dark, Electric, Energy, Fiery, Invuln, Regen, Super Reflexes or willpower. SD is fine too, but I'd prefer to make that on a scrapper.
Stone is a travesty of game design.
The point I am trying to make is all armors are good. Some are cheaper to get to a good performance level than others, so more information is required to make a good recommendation.
Your budget, your play-style, how active or passive you like sets, etc.
Of the three sets you listed, I would go with WP. Street Justice is a very fast attack set but without the end discount that claws gets. it's very easy to spam attacks to drain your end quickly, so Quick Recovery really helps.
EA's stupidly good for softcapping defense early and getting Hasten perma with extreme ease. You'll need heavy end management in the form of globals and maybe Cadiac in your Alpha slot but I'm only in as far as 34 and so far can just romp through each group with ridiculous ease. Energy Drain at 35 will solve a lot of the end issues further.
i'm playing a SJ/WP brute atm, and its scary fun, i fell in love with my claws/wp this one is just as good, prolly better, not sure at later lvls i only just hit lvl 22 today... i have a build that does well at soloing, i'll post it as a guide for you.

So I have decided to finally make a Street Justice toon as a brute. Im trying to find a secondary that is decent with it and I was thinking either
SR, WP, Invul.
I do alot of duo missions with my Brother and I run TF all the time. When Im level 50 Im gonna be doing some Incarnate Trials.
Thanks Guys
