3F

I'd still recommend the Grasshopper-5H instead though. :P

Most IS heroes are worse than the cbill mechs anyway.

3F, for the torso twist range.

3F is overall better due to twist and turn angles and quirks. However, 5S with dual AMS + AMS overload module is pretty nice against missile rain.

3H or 3F? The 3F was always the one with the widest twist range since they came out, unless PGI changed that along the way.

5S with 4 LPLs is nice. 5S you would use more for med-long range laser-deck, so torso twist matters less.

3F I don't see whats so great about it? I suppose if you wanna go lurms maybe (in which case the torso twist bonus does jack)? SRMs I suppose, but STKs are ideal for hunkering down and poking at range.
