Why would pilots of Gallente ships like the Mega use armor repair systems as opposed to shield reppers?
Is it because Gallente ships have more armor and so rechargers recharge more per cycle and so they are preferred?
I was Caldari and started training up T2 rails for the Mega and noticed that all the setups have armor instead of shield reps.

A few reasons:
1. There's no 'buffer' on a megathron
2. There's not enough slots to effectively shield tank on a Megathron.
3. The Megathron armor tanks much better than it shield tanks. ;-)

I think an interesting idea for the next tier of ships for each class(if they ever happen) would be for the races to each try a different or new design philosophy, like a shieldtanking Amarr BS, or an armortanking Caldari cruiser with completely new stats, bonuses, roles, etc than what we have now.

The Marauders are kinda that way. All kinds of ewar bonuses that ships of that race shouldn't have. ;-)
Oh, and the Nightmare... [sortof] Amarr shield tanker.

1)4 mids vs 7 lows.
2)no tackling.
3)it armor buffers better then shield buffering especially because it can tackle....Oh and please nobody post your uber passive tanking mega setup,please

Simple. The Gallente preponderance to low slots naturally favors an armor tank. Similarly, Caldari ships tend to shield tank due to their high number of mid slots.
Also, it's kind of a hint when the tanking bonused ships have a bonus to armor reps.
