Vanguard Tank - suggested implants?

I am in the process of leveling my Vanguard tank to 80 and gaining the legendary implants. Have looked online but not seeing any recommendations for these yet. I had been using Meteor Brawler for a bit more DPS with the recommended tank stat priorities.

 

Supercommando seems like a solid 1st choice. What implants do you recommend?

Squad Leader provides a somewhat mediocre effect (10% DR for 3s for nearby allies when getting hit with Reactive Shield up). It has some use cases in heavy AoE damage phases where you can stack up a bit, or at least be close enough to shield several people, but overall it's mostly useless. It does have the advantage of coming with tank stats, all others provide no shield/absorb which kinda sucks.

 

Shock Trooper would be my advice if you want a little extra DPS and want to forgo Squad Leader. If it came with tank stats, I'd take it in a heartbeat. It's by far the best DPS option. It's abit of a shame that it comes with Alac instead of Crit, but it's much better than the alternative, which would be the Specialist package. It does better in burst situations, but it just can't measure up to Shock Trooper in overall DPS. The other options are all vastly inferior. 6 extra rockets over a minute isn't nearly enough, and neither is a 50% change to fire an extra rocket.
