The nanobot accelerator actually provides a better boost, because it's inverted (a 15% reduction in cycle time = a 17.6% increase in rep/second). However, it also increases your cap drain by that same amount. Auxilliary nano pumps do provide less rep/second, but they make each point of your cap count for more, and cap is life. For this reason, I prefer ANPs.

And I believe both rigs are stacking nerfed (though only with themselves, not with each other)

2 Aux nano pumps and an accelerator works best (imho, and I think numerically as well).

Edit: I think its the best balance between cap usage/burst tanking.

So do you mount an Capacitor Control Circuit rig along with your Aux Nano Pump?

EDIT: CORRECTION

What is the stacking penalty and does it apply to accelerators and nano pumps together? If the penalty is significant but appled only with two nano pumps, one speed pump plus two accelerators might be better.

Sorry, but dictionary.com cannot find any words spelled "respose". Perhaps you can clarify?

The stacking penalty affects modules that increase/decrease a certain stat multiplicatively, though not all such mods are stacking penalized.

For this example, both Aux Nano Pumps and Nanobot Accelerators are stacking penalized, like this:

First module, 100% effective.
Second module, 87% effective.
Third module, 57% effective.

Since Aux Nano Pumps and Nanobot Accelerators effect two seperate stats, they do not stack against each other, so some people use 2x Nano Pump 1x Accelerator for a good balance of HP/sec and cap/sec use. You could use 2x Accel 1x Aux Pump, but the difference in HP/Sec usually wouldn't be worth the increase in cap/sec that the Reppers will be using. Personally I tend to avoid the Accelerators on all but a select few setups, because I very much dislike the extra cap usage they cause.
