Which option would be better towards my damage?

Assuming each piece of gear is at 12% str, which option would be the best? I also plan on using empress shoulder pads.

Nova cape (no EE)+top and bottom or an Empress cape+empress overall (6 set bonus)
or in other words, 36% str and 17 attack vs 24% str, 30 attack, and 30% boss damage

The reason that the Nova cape isn't EE'd is because I plan on getting a Tyrant cape next year or something when/if they become more affordable.

On regular mobs, it depends on how much w.att and %str you already have on the rest of your gear.
On bosses, obviously the Empress set is better.

Well my main is already 200 so I guess the regular mobs part isn't very useful.
% str wise I currently have.. 49ish%, although as the weeks roll by I'll be cubing my gear for 12% str (aside from my weapon and dragon emblem of course)
