Because Grunts need lovin' too!
Grunts are usually held in very low regard, but perhaps Cosmic Era grunts took a greater fall than most. Their role became nothing more than cannon fodders. Worse, they were 'static' cannon fodders.
Yet, background materials indicated otherwise. Theoretically, many grunt suits were designed to be versatile enough to handle a wide array of tactical maneuvers. Thus, in an effort to recognize our disadvantaged grunt suits & (mostly unknown) pilots, why not tell us which grunt suit is your favorite grunt, and why. The MAJOR Contestants (ones seen performing space combat) are as follows: EA/OMNI GAT-01 Strike Dagger GAT-04 Windam ZAFT ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior ZGMF-2000 GOUF ZGMF-1017 GINN ZGMF-600 GuAIZ ORB MBF-M1 M1 Astray MVF-M11C Murasame - Tak |

Hmm... it's too bad that you don't have a bigger selection. The only mobile suit I really like in Seed/Destiny is the DOM Trooper, but that's just because I like the cut of its lines. Unfortunately, it's not really a line mobile suit so it probably doesn't qualify for this poll at all.
In terms of design philosophy, I think it should go hands down to the BuCUE. It's hands down the most practical mobile suit in the entire Gundam franchise, and it negates (or reduces) most of the drawbacks of the bipedal form.

Yeah, I realized that. However, I had 'balancing' in mind. If I included an entire catalog of ZAFT suits, it'd easily overwhelm the poll list and dwarf everyone else, thus I limited to suits capable of performing space combat only.

My vote goes to the ZAKU all the way.
The reasons are simple. The ZAKU is a proven unit. Sturdy, reliable and in the hands of good pilots (ex. Luna & Ray), capable of resisting against second (ex. DOM), and even first line mobile suits. The ZAKU has a wide array of options available to its chassis and pilot, thus fulfilling the role of a multi-purpose mobile suit very well. - Tak |

The Murasame is arguably the most maneuverable line suit in the cosmic era. Unfortunately, background materials did not reveal additional options available to the Murasame.
The M1 Astray on the other hand, could be equipped with additional weaponry, such as a rail-gun. But that was available only on manga format. It'd be nice to know if the Murasame had other things going on for it, but we will probably have to wait until the movie (and additional productions) to find out. - Tak |

I don't think it even needs to have additional armaments. For the most part, a beam rifle and saber is all that's required. And being comfortable with both aerial and space combats without needing extra equipment (that I know of) is a bonus. Now all Orb needs are marine ms.

But I guess Murasames are alright. Crap design though.

It's a commander-type GuAIZ.

I also forgot to add the GOUF. Heine owned Stella good if it wasn't for Freedom. And Athrun put up a fight against Destiny/Legend. |

Commander-type GuAIZ = regular GuAIZ in white. So it doesn't matter. Its not three times faster.
And no, its not the GuAIZ Rau Custom either since other white colored GuAIZ's show up later in the show. As for Heine's GOUF... That's a prototype... We all know prototypes aren't grunts...
