If you're on' later, I got a couple o' ways to play him I think'll you'll be able to settle on.Awakened Collector Adept. All the builds I've used for him have been wrong. Not saying he's bad, but I'm bad with him.
I keep the Slash because of Atl(i?)as(es?).N7 Shadow for me. To Electric Slash or not to Electric Slash, that is the question.
Definitely the GI for me too- constantly going back and forth between the sniper and non-sniper builds, with the melee build every now and then when I get the hankerin' for it.
I actually haven't used that many on a single character. I generally only use one per character, after trying them out and then deciding what I want to do. So it probably comes down to the Geth Engineer, which I may have used another one or two long ago. But i have promoted a fair amount of times, too, so I could be totally wrong there...
I don't see how people need to switch the GI build so often. That's some serious min/maxing.
My Javelin build is 6/5/6/6/3. You could easily slap on a shotgun instead, and all you're losing, realistically, is a bit of shields and shield recharge speed... Not that big a deal. Not worth wasting a respec card, IMO. Then again, maybe that's why I always have 3 respec cards, and only use 1 at a time to be sure I always have some spare...
My next respec card will probably be spent on either my Krogan Shaman or Collector Adept. I have yet to be happy with a build for either character. Either that, or the QFI to put Berserk on Sabotage, because after megabeast's accomplishment, I really want to see an Atlus grab a Phantom.
^It's 125 shields IIRC if you are talking 3 v 4 fitness. And of course PM damage.
edit: nope it is 112.

I frequently advocate variety on this forum, but to my shame I've never played the GI with anything other than the Javelin, using the same 6/5/6/6/3 build since day one. I don't use the Jav on any other character, partly because it's just so perfect on the GI. I have yet to unlock him on any alt A/Cs, but I can't wait to, so that I can experiment. Heldarion's GI Talon video practically made me drool.
Overall most of my builds are pretty settled, but the ones I switch most frequently are the Destroyer, KroSol, and every single one of those damn versatile Turians.
I came back to this thread to listen to Disco Inferno. Now it is funky Friday.
Collector Adept and Cabal, for sure. Just too many fun ways to play the two kits.
HSol too. I keep one of them set to my "no finesse at all" setup (AR/Frags). So the other bounces between AR/CS, CS/Frag ('splosions er'where!) or no fitness.
Juggernaut too. And it's almost always to tweak one rank over another. Fitness 6a vs. 6b, for example.
The Juggerbutts is actually far more versatile than I give it credit for. In other words "This unit knows how to get down!"Collector Adept and Cabal, for sure. Just too many fun ways to play the two kits.

Pictures in possible poor taste aside. 
GI cause I keep bouncing between the sniper build and shotgun build.
As the old proverb goes, respec in haste, repent at leisure.
Far better to promote and build that power structure slowly so you can watch it mature and grow as you fertilize the points tree with the fruits of your hard labor in the wave mines.
Props for usin' the Smitty! I can't stop usin' the sword either. I mean, BioWare kicked the s__t outta the "awesome button" when they decided "Let's add fire!" *office nods in Geth-like synchronized agreement*Shadow for me!
Started with a duff build of my own
BSN shotgun build which I really didn't like
My own rubbish Smg build
BSN inspired Valiant build. Really fun, ran this for ages
My own melee build using the Scimitar, not a top scorer, but really good fun

For me, hands down: The Turian Saboteur! Not because he's "bad" or I have a problem figuring him out. It's actually because he is the most-if not one of the most-versatile kits in the game! Great melee (most important for me), great weapon passives, his powers actually synergize very well, and he has Tony Stark-like jets.
In my opinion, the Saboteur has one of the worst power synergies in the entire game. It's really hard to name one that is worse. None of his powers synergize with each other at all. At least classes like the Marksman, BF3 Soldier, Vorcha Soldier, etc., can avoid problems with power synergy entirely by simply skipping a power. The only synergy that the Saboteur has is Sabotage with his Heavy Melee.
Anyway.... my answer to your question is probably the Salarian Infiltrator or the Geth Engineer. The SI because I keep going back and forth between single-shot sniper builds, multi-shot sniper builds, shotgun builds, and a Crusader build, which are all different. The GE because I can't decide if I like healing turret, flame turret, or just a few pity points in the turret. I change my mind frequently on that.
Geth Infiltrator, I can't really decide between SMG/shotgun, sniper or melee build.
GI. I go back and forth between jav build and talon/piranha build. But I promote a lot, so those are kinda my respec cards.
GI and Fury.
GI - sniper, melee, shotgun/pistol I just can't keep one
Collector - I think I've finally decided on my build for him. Took me a while though
FQI - I rotate between melee (actually pretty fun), sniper, and sticky grenade build.
Destroyer - I've run no DM, no HML, no MFG, and now I think I'm finally finished on no fitness.
Shaman - A lot of different kits from barrier spam, to melee, to tank adept. He's good fun.
Cabal - Just too many fun ways to play her. Melee, soldier with NSB, PS spam, or my current build which is a hybrid.
QFT
Probably the GI, between a Javelin / Sniper build and a Talon / shotgun build.
I have also used a lot of respec cards for the N7 Shadow, since I played her alternately with a Wraith / melee build and with an Indra / sniper build. I tend now to use only the melee build with her.
Definitely the GI for me too- constantly going back and forth between the sniper and non-sniper builds, with the melee build every now and then when I get the hankerin' for it.

All you guys are switching between shotgun and sniper geth builds... while the only one I can see justifiable is using a respec card to switching to and from the melee build, because that one actually takes away from the other aspects. Allow me to demonstrate:
Sniper Build: http://kalence.drupa...095515!!!EBFA3S
Shotgun Build: http://kalence.drupa...906535!!!5BFACS
Literally, the only thing you gain by switching to the shotgun build is 37 Heath, 112 Shields, and 0.6 second faster shield recharge. Unless you're adding damage to proximity mine, in which case you don't gain the shield recharge and instead add 240 damage to prox mine (hint, shield recharge is better)
That is some seriously unnecessary min/maxing. Save your respec cards for something else, guys. Only the melee build is worth the respec cards, because it's totally different.
QFI for some reason. Between Sabotage and switching between 4 and 6 in TC, I just can't decide which build I like best

You know nothing about the Turian Saboteur if you think it has no power synergy.
Step 1: skip Turret. It's stupid and useless (yet it's still better than some pugs)
Homing Grenades and Sabotage synergize quite well, actually. Sabotage takes 1.5 seconds to prime for a tech burst after casting it, which works with the travel time and casting animation of Homing Grenade. That will get you a 6+6 Tech burst and some heavy damage to both shields in AOE, and armor against bosses.
Sabotage should be spec'd for Duration, Explosive, and Tech Vulnerability. Duration is useful for hacking boss units to keep them off your back while you mop up some mooks. Tech Vulnerability may or may not synergize with the team, but it certainly buffs your melee damage considerably.
Homing Grenade should be spec'd for damage, burning damage, and armor damage and mitigation. Armor Mitigation allows for flexibility in the types of ammunition you choose to carry with you, depending on the weapon you are using. Also, homing grenades spec'd this way are actually very powerful for taking boss units down. The armor mitigation makes weapons like the Hurricane very effective sidearms for taking down boss units without even needing AP Ammo IV.
Passives are full on weapon damage and headshots. This character is not so much an engineer, but more of a soldier. Sabotage is used to stun mooks for super easy headshots, making weapons like the M-11 Suppressor and the Graal Spike Thrower very fun weapons to use on this character.
Fitness is optional. I suggest a melee build because it gives you another avenue of dealing damage to make this character even more versatile than it already is. Additionally, it's synergy applies to weapon damage, which lends to it's already present strategy as a soldier.
I cannot emphasize enough that the Turian Saboteur is as much a soldier as all of the other Turians appear to be.
Sabotage, Sentry Turret, and Homing Grenades are actually a really good combo. You can skip anyone of his trees, and still get a great kit!In my opinion, the Saboteur has one of the worst power synergies in the entire game. It's really hard to name one that is worse.

The only kits I can think of are
GI - I constantly switch between a Sniper, standard 4/6/6/6/4 build or melee
Destroyer - I like switching between a power build, PPR build and Typhoon build
Turian Soldier - I like to switch between an Eagle/Hurricane build, Claymore build and power build
