I put Trailcutter on my front line for a while today just to see how he'd hold up. He had about 18K defense and the guy next to him had about 10.5K. So it was nearly an 80% boost. The result was disappointing (and not just because TC hits like a squirt gun). TC only took about 10-20% less damage per hit than the guy next to him. He wasn't worth it at all.

So my advice is go with the former. I don't know what kind of defense score you need to really make a difference but it seems we haven't found it yet.
