Alright I've been looking at starts lately and have noticed that the Enclave MkI power armor has only 400 HP.
The T-51b has only 3 less DR, but 2000 HP...Which one should I choose to just be a tank who kill everything?
Do you have the jury rigging perk? I haven't had trouble using metal armor to keep the Remnant Power armor in good repair.
If you do go for the T-51b make sure its not "Brotherhood T-51b" as that will give you the faction disguise.
