There are a lot of good things said about evasion pal, especially in end-game.

I don't have a 32 point build, so I've set dex as my dumps stat.

So, my choices right now are to either:
splash 2 lvl of rogue to get evasion, wear light armor despite of my lack of dex bonus and be of low AC.
or
forgo evasion, wear heavy armor, and have high ac.

Which one of the two choices above do you think is more suitable for a frontline melee pal?
