For a 150+ STR run-stuffing DE, what SAs are best?

Strong base seems appealing, but there has been conflicting information on whether or not it works on both rushing and passing downs.

Anyone care to share experience with taking this SA to 8+?

Are the alternatives better (Wall, Diving Tackle, Break Thru, etc)?

I like break thru if you are usually up against ROT and TE. Strong base only works on passing plays i believe, if you have decent speed, it is worth it crush pockets/get sacks. I dont have much experience with wall or DT on a DE, but like DT more in mind for a fast DE that goes against LOT and has 49 + jumping.

Wall is awesome... I Have 11 STrong base on my STR DE... I don't know if its working or not as I don't know what to look for and have had it forever.

Heres my thoughts on a STR/AGI/SPD based DT. You need to get off the line quick, JTS and FS, you need to push blocker back or out of way, Strong Base and Pocket Crusher, and preferably knock him down, Heavyweight.

STR DE id use Break Thru as my bonus SA.

What about Gang Tackle as bonus SA (after Break Thru obviously)?
