SOLO ofc.. from my experience, stat armors up to about 50, than ee.. but it also depends on what class and what complimentary gear you have.. ee armors are only affective if you have decent weapon, due to leveling speeds etc.. Also depends on the build as well.. If you are pure hybrid ( or have about 75 int).. than stat armors up to about 50, rest robe's, high ee scales, chains, plates to MQ imo. But again, if you have ridiculous gear.. and shrine alot it could vary.
