What modification would be a better choice to add to Darth Vader. Stealth Device or Engine upgrade and why?

I believe the general consensus is Engine Upgrade, presumably because it gives him the mobility of a PTL interceptor, minus the stress.

EU gives him great mobility, true.

SD gives him great survivability.

EU gives him great mobility, true.

SD gives him great survivability.

Which leads me to my question. EU gives the ability to hunt down Phantoms. Buts the SD makes it harder for Hans. Choices, Choices, Maybe I should flip a coin! :-)

Sometimes mobility IS survivability.

And sometimes there are turrets...

Alternatively, practice with both, and pick which one suits your style better.

EU Vader is an excellent clownfish among the anemone that are the asteroids.

SD Vader is better when you expect to be in arc of more opposing ships.

Current Meta suggests: Vader with Outmaneuver and EU. I was thinking VI and EU, to catch those pisky A-Wings, E-wings and the lone Phantom.

I'd go with Engine now and again.

I'll just side with Engine Upgrade. When he's usually moving last I see so much more potential with the EU to just avoid getting shot at that it makes SD weak in comparison. Stealth Device also runs into the big 'which is better' debate when compared with Hull and Shield Upgrade when all three can work nicely with an Advanced.

I have only 7 point to upgrade Vader, (possibly 8 points)

Build

1) VI, Proton Rockets, SD (7)

2) Outmaneuver, EU (7)

3) Stay-on-target, Proton Rockets, SD (8), But I had to remove a Munitions Failsafe from another ship.

4) Spend it all on a killer stereo system with tinted windows and some fussy dice!

Whatever you do, don't use Stay on Target! You lose his 2 actions if you use the ability. I like #1 but with an EU instead of the SD. The EU makes it easier to get in range 1 for the Prockets.

Engine Upgrade everytime.

Even if I thrusted the reliability of Stealth Device, Engine Upgrade all the way, no question ask for me. I'm all for an elusive Sith Lord.

Then It will be Option 1 with EU. Thanks every one!

If only Vader was piloting a grappler ship from the Outlaw Star universe...He could've been wielding a lightsaber.
