I wouldn't consider the NSL due to thrust.
NAC would be okay--sure they have enough ADFC and PDS among them; these
are
often "variant" listings in the FB.  They are, however, aesthetically
unappealing (other than as targets) due to the long, skinny necks which
scream "shoot me here!"
FSE LOOK the best by far.  A SLM armed fleet works if you're good at
guessing your opponent's moves, it also has the potential for disaster.
ESU are second in looks to FSE.  They strike me as a "middle of the
road"
fleet.
