FA/ElM Tank or Brute

So, I'm about to delete my FA/EM tank for various reasons (mostly because I'm liking EM more on my stalker than on the tank), and I'm not sure which way to go when I remake with Electrical melee instead.

Tank Pros
FA is already balanced more to offense so would be even squishier on a brute
I don't really have any other tanks
Already transitioning one brute to hero/vigil when GR come out

Brute Pros
FA aura nice for fury
backstory works well for ex-villain
Lots of AE in the combo makes doing higher damage extra helpful (ie farming city)
Can skip charged brawl

But that's mostly personal taste. What about mechanically? What else works better for one than the other?
