I'm pretty neutral on those pairings. Nothing wrong with them, but I think there's no special synergy or problem with those three and SR, so I would just pick whichever of those three primaries you like the best.|

In terms of strong synergy, the sets I would say have some strong synergistic element with SR are Dark Melee: can stack -tohit with SR's defenses, has a self heal which SR lacks, and Staff: has +regen which is much weaker than Dark Melee's heal, but better than nothing, and has +enddiscount to power full power Staff AoE with all three SR toggles even when solo and even while leveling before strong invention builds.
Besides that there are strong conceptual pairings with MA and Street Justice for "natural" themed characters. But other than that, SR plays relatively nice with all primaries.

Staff can additionally do a +RES buff, which would also be pretty beneficial.

Heh, yeah, Staff does a +Def. It does have some -Res secondary effects to some of its 'finishers', but I'm not sure it that is particularly relevant.

I have a Kat/SR, and I have to say, if you want tough to kill that you can build for some serious damage output...that would be the way I would go. I skipped Divine Avalanche, took both AoE's slotted for damage and recharge and never looked back! If you go incarnate, SR loves Agility Alpha...+end mod/+recharge/+Def
Claws/SR is not one you mentioned but, claws I think lends itself well as it does top tier ST and AoE damage, has relatively low endurance cost, and benefits greatly from recharge.
DM is also another good one, as is Elec Melee...

If you're using Form of the Body and Sky Splitter as your finisher, you get 10%/7.5% resistance to all.
Makes it an interesting choice for a defensive attack set, but for me I just don't think it justifies the drop in damage, but to each their own.
