My FB is mostly a blocker right now, but I want to make him into a receiving FB. Where should I put my Custom Equipment??

I'm not sure a receiving FB is a viable option at present. Everytime I've seen a pass to a FB he stops for a second before turning up field, usually getting dropped for a loss. This may be due to low catching stats though, so if you do go this way I'd be interested to see how it works for you.
As for advanced equipment, I'd still be trying to roll a first step piece, with hopefully speed/strength or even catching +2 or +3 on it. This should help you in the blocking game and from starting up again after catching the ball in the passing game. However, if the stopping after catch is a bug and not a catching issue and gets fixed, I'd probably prefer quick cut or power thru.

tbh, your priority should be on speed in order to get out into the pattern (and most FBs are very slow). catching of course needs to be passable, but speed is the difference between 5 yards a catch and 1.

it's low catching, obviously.
