 Which is better for Soldier in Insanity?

Giving any of those to a soldier would be a waste of a cooldown because Andrenaline Rush already gives you defensive buffs.

True, but if you insist on one I would go with Geth Shield Boost. Fortification is okay, but it doesn't benefit from upgrades. Barrier is just wrong on a Soldier. GSB upgrades enough to make the cooldown negligible and, since you do have an omni-tool, it doesn't strain credibility that a soldier would have it.

The Soldier lacks cooldown bonuses in Combat Mastery, so you can only get cooldown for Geth Shield Boost with the Tech Cooldown upgrade. This decreases the 12 second cooldown by 20%... to 9.6 seconds.

Now consider that Adrenline Rush has a 3 second cooldown starting at rank 3. You can activate Adrenaline Rush twice in the time in takes Geth Shield Boost to cool down. Additionally, Adrenaline Rush slows down time around you, which means that you take less damage since you get shot less. Couple this with your Storm Speed bonus (which slows down time as you run) and even the damage reduction if you take Hardened Adrenaline Rush, you can take a lot less damage than you would taking a shield power.

You are better off using Neural Shock or Slam which are 1-point wonders with a 3 second cooldown. Even Stasis which has a 6 second cooldown is better and is also considered a 1-point wonder. If you do not like Cryo Ammo for whatever reason, you can always take Warp Ammo for slightly more weapon damage. Or just not take any bonus power and stick the remaining point into Concussive Shot which you will never use anyway.
