oh - yes...
not exactly the answer i was searching for, so i did some
tests myself...
i designed nubians with full slots of either ultras or titan-a.
4 designs:
5 ultras, 7 titan
6 ultras, 6 titan
7 ultras, 5 titan
8 ultras, 4 titan
i also took my chaff design and tried to overcloak as many
of them as possible (chaff i took frig with mizer, 1 shadow
shield and x-ray .... yes - i like shielded chaff 
results:
5u7t overcloaks 470 chaff
6u6t overcloaks 510 chaff
7u5t overcloaks 540 chaff
8u4t overcloaks 530 chaff
seems like the best overcloaker is the 7 ultras 5 titan nubian.
but it is not as easy as it seems...
ultras cost more than armor, so the 7u5t is (depending on tech)
more expensive than the 6u6t... and so when building lots of
overcloakers the 6u6t might become better?
so spending 20K resources i built
50 5u7t, cloaking 23.500 chaff
47 6u6t, cloaking 23.900 chaff
44 7u5t, cloaking 23.700 chaff
42 8u4t, cloaking 22.000 chaff
so when looking at resources, the 6u6t is more efficient...
we also know thar minerals are quite important at that stage
of the game, so i would like to mention that the
6u6t costs 8% less minerals than the 7u5t, making the
6u6t even better...
this is still not the end of the discussion, as gateability
might be important, but i think all of these nubians are
ungateable... also it depends on the max tech, so if const is
maxed out, but electronics still at 12, 5u7t might be better?
and is the number of overcloaked chaff a smart metric anyway???
and what if i am not SS???
ok... but in the end i think we can see, that all the numbers
are quite close... so... i think all of them will do
hope this helps
