Long story short I cam up with this:

Full set of T2-Special gear is best for attacking towns obviously.

Lynx gear is best for defending home, this is so you can defend an actual attack if they go blind.

Ubba gear is great for DEFENDING fortresses, since they are literally defending it from espionage reports.

Now the biggest question would Ubba gear or T2-special scout gear be better for attacking a Fortress. Your not actually capturing the fortress with scouts but I'm not to sure how the game reads a scout attack.
