What is the best logi, a scimi or a basi. I love both but recently the scimi is my preferred logi ship

So now that I have Logi 4, I've been seriously considering purchasing a Scimi to join fleets with. Looking at the WTM doctrine fits I was attempting to maintain a stable 3 rep fit while still bringing as many links to the fleet as possible without breaking away from the doctrine too much and potentially causing a hassle for whoever is FCing. I've run into an interesting find while fitting and would like someone with power to look at, and confirm that I can go ahead and fit like this. I've found that cap rechargers provide less of a benefit than a faction cap battery. (this has been known around eve for awhile, so not sure why WTM doctrine doesn't account for it) I can get a stable 3 rep fit with a recharger, but the reason for this post is getting that 4th rep running when needed is my concern. As an MMO vet, getting the most out my character/fit with what I have access to has always been something I strive for... which means if that 4th rep is meant as a "holy shit button" I want to try and get it to run for as long as possible. So, the fits (Running a Geno CA-1 and CA-2 and nothing else. In game numbers, not Pyfa/EveHQ theory craft): FIT A [Scimitar, HQ Logi recharger] Power Diagnostic System II Capacitor Power Relay II Capacitor Power Relay II Capacitor Power Relay II Pithum C-Type Adaptive Invulnerability Field Cap Recharger II Remote Tracking Computer II Remote Tracking Computer II 10MN Afterburner II Large Remote Shield Booster II Large Remote Shield Booster II Large Remote Shield Booster II Large Remote Shield Booster II Medium Ancillary Current Router II Medium Capacitor Control Circuit II Light Hull Maintenance Bot I x4 Light Armor Maintenance Bot I x5 Tracking Speed Script x2 Nanite Repair Paste x500 Optimal Range Script x2 This is the base fit, the one based on WTM doctrine as it stands. With this fit I am 3 rep stable. 4 reps will run for 1:04 ( 0:40 all overheat) FIT B [Scimitar, HQ Logi batt] Power Diagnostic System II Capacitor Power Relay II Capacitor Power Relay II Capacitor Power Relay II Pithum C-Type Adaptive Invulnerability Field Republic Fleet Medium Cap Battery Remote Tracking Computer II Remote Tracking Computer II 10MN Afterburner II Large Remote Shield Booster II Large Remote Shield Booster II Large Remote Shield Booster II Large Remote Shield Booster II Medium Ancillary Current Router II Medium Capacitor Control Circuit II Light Hull Maintenance Bot I x4 Light Armor Maintenance Bot I x5 Tracking Speed Script x2 Nanite Repair Paste x500 Optimal Range Script x2 This is the base fit, with a battery instead of a recharger. With this fit I am 3 rep stable. 4 reps will run for 2:32 (1:14 all overheat) FIT C [Scimitar, HQ Logi L batt] Power Diagnostic System II Power Diagnostic System II Capacitor Power Relay II Capacitor Power Relay II Pithum C-Type Adaptive Invulnerability Field Republic Fleet Large Cap Battery Remote Tracking Computer II Remote Tracking Computer II 10MN Afterburner II Large Remote Shield Booster II Large Remote Shield Booster II Large Remote Shield Booster II Large Remote Shield Booster II Medium Ancillary Current Router II Medium Ancillary Current Router II Light Hull Maintenance Bot I x4 Light Armor Maintenance Bot I x5 Tracking Speed Script x2 Nanite Repair Paste x500 Optimal Range Script x2 And finally, the step farthest away from doctrine attempting to push as much out of the capacitor as possible. This fit changes the rigs and lows for more power grid and fits a large battery instead of a medium/recharger. With this fit I am 3 rep stable, and 4 reps run for 5:04 (2:09 all overheated) Cost wise, They're all about the same as faction batteries are cheap. Now, fit C is probably unnecessary, and I would want to fit my Scimi with fit B as I don't think I need 4 reps for 5 minutes... we'd probably be screwed if I did. I'm also a cheap bugger, and would rather not have to re-rig when I get logi 5 and no longer need the battery/recharger for 3 rep stable. Thoughts?
