Inventory; What do you use, and why?

I, for one, find one of the biggest decisions in para to be the inventory. 6 spaces simply isn't enough for everything I need much of the time, and being the captain further limits my choices.
I like the disruption suit because the teleport can be infinetly useful. However, it is not a powerful combat suit against paras. For this reason, I often carry a spare suit. This leaves me with only 4 spaces to use. A thermal shield is a must imo, as it is often the only way to survive a fight with a competent mental para, or escape a tker with acid suit, or simply to survive bombs. It has also saved me several times from being obliterated by a nuke. An adrenal stimpack is incredibly useful for running, chasing, or generally patrolling.
The next two spaces are usually chosen depending on which form the para takes.

Mental: emc generators cause mind paras to waste their absorbers, allowing your thermal to run its full duration. Most mind paras only expect one counter, if that.
A heal is very useful against a tier one para, who can pretty much 2 shot a human. It can only be countered with more damage, giving you longer to escape or kill the para.
A bomb is also useful for destroying armies of spawns, or killing the para. A good para wont die from a unmasked bomb, so a good combo is usually needed, such as an acid suit ensnare+detonation.
Absorbers can prevent the cerb from simply blocking the explosion.

Phys: healing stims, trackers, bombs, etc are useful against phys paras. You can't really beat a good phys 1 para with just a suit, so good itemization is neccissary. Drugs or alchohol that increase damage as well as suits such as steam or hydro are almost mandatory.
I find phys paras difficult to kill but easy to escape from. For this reason, I usually stock up with offensive items such as bombs, and spare the escaping items such as adrenals.

As the paras evolve past that first evolution, specific items become somewhat less neccissary. Bombs won't one shot many phys paras, and absorbers are generally useless against higher tier mentals (unless of course they go atro, in which case anti possention items become mandatory). At this point i generally stock up on circumstantial items and try to kill the paras with more planning and strategy than fights.

What items do you all use?
