Tengu - Tank vs Flare Rig!

Hello ship designers and critics! This is probably a really really trivial thing but might as well get people's opinions anyway!

Okay so I am trying to decide between two different 0.0 Angel PvE Tengu set ups. One set up has more tank :o and the other set up gets a pretty Flare rig. So I am wondering how important is that one Flare rig? I do have a 5% implant for missile explosion speed or what ever it is but the Flare Rig gives 20%! Usually I see people focus on the Rigor Rigs so Im not sure how important the Flares are.

Anyway! Take a look and tell me which you like more, I'm aware both probably have an okay tank so the Flare rig cant' hurt but if the difference it makes is really minimal I would rather go with the other.

Also! I don't mind if you post your own fittings too because I do like looking at pretty Tengu fittings, but please also answer the question too if you do :D

Why not 1 rigor, 1 flare, 1 CCC?

If it's definitely just between those two, I think the flare rig will probably be worth it.

Would you recommend 1 rigor and 1 flare over 2 rigors? Basically Im just not sure how helpful the flare is cause I know on a raven you use 3 rigors :|

IIRC the best :math: to date says rigor x2 and flare x1 is and has always been the best. There simply was poor math indicating 3 rigors to be superior before. No I can't cite that, go fish on battlecinic if you're really curious.

As for the tengus. I use rigor II, rigor II, flare II on all of my setups. I've never wanted for tank on the tengu and if I did i'd just get a little more spendy on my sb.
