None of the mods needed for tactical boots / armor is used for the power armor.

Personally I think that it is good to have both types of equipment. There are times when you need to tank and there are times when you need to run (e.g. Tactical equipment is good when facing Mastermind, but against Mancubi level I would rather wear Fireproof / Power Armor).

With Lost Souls running at 220% speed I'm not as big a fan of the whole "strip naked and run" idea.  Don't get me wrong I still recommend running out of the room (either back the way you came or forward out the other door) and then dealing with them (perferably with a double shotgun blast to the face if possible) but a bit of armor isn't without merit if your character isn't very fast normally.  Even a simple green/blue armor will help with the damage you take (though it might mean a couple more hits on the way out).  Red is a bit overkill though as lost souls don't hit that hard (plus it slows you down alot more then green armor does).

I guess to sum up, is 1 protection worth a -5% speed hit when the enemies already move at 220%?  It seems like it should be but maybe I'm wrong.  Or lets think of it this way.  How many more hits are you going to take by moving at 160% move speed (Tac Armor + Tac Boots + Running) vs 145% move speed (No Armor + Tac Boots + Running) vs 140% move speed (Green Armor + Tac Boots + Running).  I honestly don't know.  Of course having both tac armor and tac boots might be a bit much since that is four agility mods...

The style is the most important thing =) !

What I did for the lost souls in my sharpshooter run (and, something I forgot about at the time, it'll only work effectively with Technicians because of their item usage speed), is I spammed my Arena Master's staff, using my remaining small med-packs to let me reuse it.  It'll take a lot of used because of their fire resistance (hitting them with multiple explosions helps a bit), but I didn't have any other plan and it ended up working out fine.

It is good to put some speed-increasing-mods on equipment - or create certain assemblies.

Made Tac armor, but couldn't find a single set of boots. In any case, I took another shot, I was surrounded 1 turn after the ambush sprung and dead two turns later trying to get back to the spawn point. I didn't have any phase devices either. Five characters in a row now have died at this point. I don't think it's reasonably possible without either a phase device, or a maxed out (at this point) move -and- a non-surrounding spawn.
