Okay, so I fly a mastodon, I have my reasons -- let's go on.  I'm thinking about fitting a couple rigs on it.
What's nice about the mastodon is that it's a shield tanker, which means I can keep all my lows for expanders. I'd like to use my rigs, then, to assist in aligning and warping out quicker after jumping thru a gate.
Sooooooo, seems I only have 3 choices -
2x LowFriction NozzleJoints II (or T1, whatever I can get)
OR
1 x LowFriction NozzleJoints II(or T1) + 1 x Polycarbon Engine Housing II (or T1)
OR
2x Polycarbon Engine Housing II (or T1)
What say all ye skilled math geniuses. or, does anyone have a formula or experience with such a setup.
thanks in advance,

Thank Bazman.
I was feeling that way, too, but started wondering about such reasoning when remembered how nanos tend to get a ship into warp faster. So, I was thinking perhaps the -%mass rigging would work like a nano. Looking forward to seeing some others comment.

So, if you're already aligned, a lower mass will get you into warp faster. If you're not aligned, higher agility will allow you to align faster. I'd go for one of each.
This was my thought. Anyone else? Speak up plz.

ok - sooooooo, it seems a 1 + 1 might be best to assist with alignment (the spinning thing) and then getting up to speed to actually go (mass reduction). Now, I suppose the only question would be: what does a mastodon need more help doing - aliging or getting up to speed quick enough to warp? If both equally, then, a 1+1 is the way to go. If one issue is more problematic than the other, however, it would call for 2x either one of the rigs. Hmmmmm. Guess I'll just have to buy 3 mastodons, with three accounts, then rig them out 3 ways, launch them all, jump and hit AP at teh same time on all three. lol.
