Anyone tested HP vs Def for tanks?
15% hp or 15% def, which do you guys suppose holds em alive the longest, all secondary mod stats aside just talking about the type of mod bonus alone

HP, HP, HP, HP. Far, far, far and away HP.
Take a look at the Defense on your tanks, then take a look at the Defense on your non-tanks. There's only a very, very small difference. Old Daka has 11% Armor, Royal Guard has 12%, Luminara has 15%. All the defenses range between about 10% and 15%. The 15% increase from the Defense mod bonus is multiplicative, not additive, meaning if your armor is 15%, you get 15% of 15%, for a total increase of 2.25% to your soak.
Right now the main practical difference between tanks and non-tanks is that tanks have significantly higher HP. So anything that adds a percentage of base HP will totally outstrip any gain from something that increases base Defense.
