Generally speaking, which is the best defense?
Durability...
Advantage: you just stand there and take it. No dodging, no forcefields required. Even if you're unconscious, you can't be harmed.
Disadvantage: if you underestimate the power of what's coming at you (ie, you get hit by something stronger than your durability), you're toast.
Protective Field...
Advantage: you don't have to stand there and take it; something else takes it for you.
Disadvantage: unless you have it on automatic, if you're unconscious/unaware and can't/don't erect a forcefield, you're toast. Also, as with Durability or even if your field is automatic, an incoming weapon could still overwhelm you if powerful enough.
Agility/Speed with Warning Sense...
Advantage: no matter how powerful an incoming weapon might be, if you simply get out of the way, it's power is rendered null and void.
Disadvantage: if you're unconscious, you're done for.
