I personally like the Ursine gear, mainly because the mastercrafted Ursine gear looks really cool. If you don't know, heavy gear (Ursine) will cause your stamina to regenerate slower in battle and light gear (Feline) will cause your stamina to regenerate more quickly. I prefer swordplay over it all and only use signs occasionally in a fight so if you're like that too, you should go with the Ursine armor and spend the majority of your points in the combat section (Crippling Strikes and Whirl are awesome in a fight). If you use signs quite a lot, the light gear will make your stamina bar fill up faster, allowing you to use signs more frequently. If that's a big part of the way you like to fight, go with the feline and spend some more points in the Signs section of your character. Remember, if you choose some abilities that you don't end up liking, you can buy a Potion of Clearance to reset all your abilities so don't fret over which to pick too much.
