If you are leveling by killing fast you are going to be facing multiple attackers. If you are using super twinked out damage reduction gear this is not be a problem, but if you are just using "good" stuff the defense helps.
And really the damage on these builds is pretty huge already; since might is based on weapon damage not total damage the gains are not as good as you might like.
Also defiant/freezidin mercs live long if you solo.
I have used all 3. I had a might merc with my werebear because he could tank for ever but had low damage. He was never as tough as my def mercs despite using the same gear, and I spent more time watching out for him.
