+25% deflect ball
+25% make tackle
+25% avoid fake OR +6 Change Direction or something else

Basically I'm wondering if it's worth working towards 4 fully upgraded AEQ, when if I settle for 3 AEQ and multitrain more I'd be able to get +5 agility, +5 strength, +3 jumping, +1 stamina and +1 tackling (these could also be more SAs if I wanted). 3 AEQ on a safety seems like enough to get the bonuses a safety needs like +% tackle, +% deflect and Super Vision.

Right now it really looks like 4 AEQ wouldn't be worth it for +3 speed and a fourth SA/% bonus , compared to the significantly higher stats I'd get from more training. So I'm leaning 3 AEQ vs. 4 AEQ right now for the higher base stats. But maybe I'm underestimating the power of AEQ? Maybe avoid fake is high priority?

I'd love to here some thoughts both on which is better and if this is a sound build plan. Am I underdoing/overdoing some SAs or stats on both builds maybe? Too much jumping maybe? It's hard to lower jumping much from there when it's a multitrain stat, but I could make strength the MT stat and get that higher instead.

B. Unquestionably.

25% Avoid Fake alone is worth way more than all the attribute bonuses you get from the first path, IMO, and that doesn't factor in that 3 Speed is huge, and that the difference between 80 and 85 agility for a coverage SS is very minimal.
