I got Gladiator's back before insignias just for the energy. When I got my war new armor I forgot to get Radiant Insignias, and I realized - I was able to live just fine without the extra energy! I primarily only utilize it for Power Attack (which is used only as a cheap spike if my adrenaline is low and I need to do some big damage fast) and Sprint.
So instead I use Survivor's Insignias just for the additional health, which is always nice to have on hand. I have an alternate set with Knight's for stance farming though.
Knight, Sentinel, Dreadnaught or Survivor's Insignia?

Sentinel's + 1 stonefist.

Sentinels on Hammer Warriors, Radiant on bars with Shock, Survivors on anything else.
Stonefist goes without saying if you have a KD on your bar.

Sentinel's hands down if you have 13+ strength. I'm not a big fan of Survivor's unless you are using superior attribute runes (which I think you shouldn't), you can get health from so many other things (vigor rune, fortitude weapon and shield mods). If I don't have 13+ strength, I generally go with Dreadnaught over of Brawler's since elemental protection is more important and it's unconditional on Dreadnaught.
