I'm just curious how people like to set various rune on their armor on their various characters. The headpiece is (usually) obvious...but what are you wearing? (As runes on your armor, that is).
Are you mostly a radiant insignia person? mostly a vitae / survivor insignia? Windwalker on your cute lil dervie? Are you carrying three different sets of armor, set up with three different insignias?
Personally, I'm a fan of the radiant: My ranger's set with four radiants (I think) to bring her energy to 33, so I can freely spam the 5-energy interrupts and burning arrow and so on. A +5e bow is usually good for two more shots, too.
I couldn't resist the irony of putting a superior marksmanship rune on my Asuran Spectacles.
My rit is actually wearing a survivor insignia on the chest and radiant everywhere else. Energy's never been a problem with all the item spells that the rit has.
My paragon and mesmer were both (failed) survivor attempts, and I did rune them heavily with Survivor insignias and vitae runes where I could fit them.
And my necro....well, he's just a mess. First ever character, first ever max armor, and I had NO idea what I was doing, so he's got weird stuff all over.
So, share away. I'm curious (and always looking to borrow ideas).
What are you wearing?

I always use Radiant for casters, superior/minor rune on the helm (depending on attribute of the helm), vigor on chest, and minor attribute on gloves (e-storage, soul reaping, etc.)

Havent bothered changing the hydromancer insignias off my 15k hydromancers armour that I got 2 years ago ^^

A hoody and some pants..oh wait.
Nearly everyone of my characters uses Radiant cause I don't need anything better in PvE.

Radiant on chest, survivor on rest.

Survivor on all my characters, one bloodstained on my necro and one stonefist on my warrior.

Vigor, major or minor main attribute, and more minors for whatever other attributes I'm running, and the rest are survivor/armor combos. I have one set of radiant on my warrior, two radiant sets on my sin [of five sets D:], my ele has armor of whatever element she's playing with survivor, and my necro has one set of MM armor.
Only my monk, MM armor, and certain sin headpieces I have carry superior. Because of reading certain posts on Guru, it now really bothers me to have health below 500 on my casters or 550 on my physical damagers.
My heroes get attunement because they lack the ability to have management.

My monk usually wears all Survivor. Sometimes though I'll wear Radiant on just the chest piece as someone noted above. Usually the +energy isnt necessary, or at least isnt as helpful as simply being smart about energy management and having the extra hp. I then have superior vigor, minors on what I'm running and vitae. Occasionally a major or superior rune, but its not that often. I dont encounter problems this way.
I have several weapon set swaps available as well though to cover an emergency energy need and an emergency health need, in addition to an optional slot (bow to pull if I am H/H, energy denial defense if PvP) and the standard set.

Radiant all the way. Except on Warrior, usually +10 AL while in stance or +10 AL while enchanted... Depends on the build really.
Cherng Butter
Survivor on everything. Stonefist insignia if applicable.
Dark Paladin X
most of my characters, particularly the elementalist, wears radiant.

I'm old school. No insignia crap here 
Used sup vigor, sup curses and minor soul reaping.
That is all.

I'm an armor addict and make armor for every single thing i need it for 
Monk example:
Headsets: 8x sup headsets (radiant and survivor) and 8x min headsets (radiant and survivor)
armor: 2x survivor and 2x radiant (+1x 600set)
sounds rly expensive, but headsets are mostly crowns or 51 armors
@malice: Guilty as charged, your honor

She's pretty much made it such that I dont play any of my other characters, due to the storage space all this takes up, but she collects armor anyway, so... Anet, where's the armor storage NPC, a la the Festival Hat one?
All of the extra armor sets arent really necessary to topic - most are specced to what she usually wears (survivor), though there's a radiant in there and a few others.

My entire suit is Beastmaster's Insignia.
I bet I'm the only person on this whole thread that'll say that. ^_^

On my new Paragon: Centurion's x5, Superior Vigor, Minor Leadership, Minor Command, Vitae, Minor Spear Mastery, headgear Spear focused.
On Casters: Radiant, Superior Vigor, and attribute runes. On Physicals, same but with Survivor instead of Radiant.

Survivor mostly. I have brawlers for my ranger, and radiant (which doesn't get used, I have it on my 15k druid for nostalgia sake) as well, but mostly survivor. Even my monk rolls with survivor. Radiant is useless.
Buster
Radiant runes on melee and survivor runes on casters.
Grumpy
Survivors with Vitae on wherever I can fit them on all of my monk's armors. I like health.
Dallcingi
I am a survivor for life!
I do mostly pvp but pve as well, and I'm lazy to change armors etc.. and survivor is fine in pve... dont really need all that energy as a monk, just manage it well and ur good.

Lyger
Survivor for all my main sets of armour. I tend to rely on weapon mods to push my HP up further, so I use a Rune of Recovery in place of where I'd put a Rune of Vitae.
Squishy ftw
Always a stonefist insignia on my gauntlets.
The rest varies but it's mostly survivor.

In PvE everyone gets a superior primary rune, the ranger gets two (expertise and marksmanship - he dies last anyway).
Everyone gets minor in their less important skill lines.
Most get full radiant, except melee characters who may get extra armor instead.
Fill up with vitae or attunement.
Exception is novelty builds like my 600 or 55's.
