I've made an active 3 slot armour tanked TFI (One rep and 2 mission specific resists). I have 2 empty rig slots and think I'll put in a couple of either Auxiliary Nano Pumps or Nanobot Accelerators. Which is best?

Well aside from using EFT/PYFA, If you have no cap problems then I suggest 1 of each. This means that either rig wont reduce the effect of the other.

Personally I'd go for 2 Pumps as there is no capacitor management impact
but over time 2 accelerators repair more hp, but you have a higher capacitor usage rate

2 pumps takes T2 large repairer to +1195hp per cycle
whilst 2 Accelerators reduces your cycle time to about ~8s

so
+920hp per 8s @ 400 cap per cycle
vs
+1195hp per 11s @ 400 cap per cycle

after 88s
2 pumps repair 9,560hp using 3200 cap
2 accels repair 10,120hp using 4400 cap

each affects your tank slightly differently, for long haul tanking the accels are better (but more cap dependant), for short term burst tanking use pumps.

This is the best compromise, IMHO.

Accelerator sucks cap hard so totally depends on if you have cap issues. And what you're ratting. I would just plug a hole and use a pump unless you are running a super nice repper.

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.
