HP: 10840
DEF: 33 / 53 / 63 (normal / adamantium skin / +bulwark)
MDEF: 16
Flee: 204

Vanilmirth (top 5% stats + best evolution) would look like this:
HP: 9449
DEF: 37
MDEF: 37 / 38
Flee: 242

Vanilmirth has higher unbuffed DEF, and it also soars above Amistr when it comes to magic tanking.??It's HP is not significantly lower so it can take almost as many hits.??It can also mob a bunch of fun maps (like Abbey2 - with the slaughters) nearly infinitely since homunculus flee is not reduced by mob size.??I'd always take vanilmirth over Amistr.??For others it comes down to preference, but every homunc can out-DPS Amistr - and most can come close to tanking it.??63 DEF looks nice on paper, but it will get owned by magic, defense-bypassing attacks, etc etc.

I'd always assume the buffs are in place. There's no reason to not use them, so that's not really valid. In terms of the tanking though, Amistr is able to tank the most (in terms of higher hit monsters). There aren't that many magic or defence-bypassing attacks from the low end MVPs creators do anyways. In that aspect, Amistr will be the best.
