Lorica Segmentata for me. Strong, yet flexible. Combined with a nice big shield and a stabbing sword, it's all i'd need.

The problem with the Scutum is that it's plywood. In the Battle of Carrhae, the soldiers who were in the testudo formation actually got their hands pinned to their shields by the arrows (ouch). And shields that are made only of wood can easily be destroyed by shock weapons.
Of course, anyone can use whatever they like.
Ahh don't know about old school armor but I like Terran Marine combat suits...

You gotta love that Reinforced Steel, with cushioned body and automatic cooling sytem, Helmet for oxygen, status updates, commlink, and Visor for increased awareness.
Together with the C-14 Gauss Rifle, You'll have a combat unit with a lifespan of 4-9 seconds at the surface of Char.
For some reason Terran Marines die so easily despite having such bulky armor.

Now THAT'S something I'll use anytime.
Ah yes, I know, I know..I wish Terran Marines had Huge swords...
