Last time I played, I didn't take either one of them, and I don't think I missed anything because of it. I haven't found anything that really requires either Speed Enhancement or Microfibral Muscles. Being able to lift heavy stuff does make some things easier, but not having it just means you have to do something the hard way.

Upgrade it and train Low-Tech a little more and you can smash metal doors, cameras, and even turrets with one swing of the Dragon's Tooth. With just a little Combat Strength and Low-Tech skill, you can knock out armored troops with one whack of the baton.

I usually go for the Microfibral Muscle, but I like both. Speed Enhancement on the other hand, makes it a lot easier to reach certain places. Run Silent has definite stealth advantages, and Deus Ex rewards stealth rather heavily. Speed crawling and silent walking both work well enough for sneaking up on people on quiet surfaces.

And I knock out any human who has a missile or grenade so I can take it for myself instead of letting them waste it blowing themselves up. I use them to disable things with rockets before they have a chance to fire, so I really don't miss the Aggressive Defense. They need a couple upgrades before they're useable, but they're very useful once they get to level 3 or 4. I never use them much for scouting, but I like the remote-controlled EMP attacks. Personally, I don't have any use for Aggressive Defense System. As for EMP, there just isn't that much of it in the game, unless you have a bad habit of catching yourself with your own EMP grenades. Anywhere you would need it, there's a rebreather nearby.

Spend a couple skill points on Trained Swimming skill while you're still on Liberty Island (it's certainly cheap enough) and you shouldn't have any need for Aqualung at all. The only two I really think are 'wrong' choices are Aqualung and EMP Shield. But on the all, cloaking is probably still the better option, especially since Environmental Training is really one of the more useless skills in the game, and I'd only pay any heed to it if I were playing like a 'no weapon' mode or something (which would also give you plenty of space to stock up on the camo armor). This way, you could get by anything when you really need to. That being the case, you could just stock up on termoptic camo armor and use it only when you really need it. radar spoofing, radar spoofing could potentially be more useful if you beefed up your environmental training skill (high proficiency with armor).

But how fast can you actually go when crouching with the full speed upgrade (how close is it to just running)? The usefulness mostly depends on how stealthy you're really trying to be, but when I'm being at all stealthy, Run Silent is my choice. You practically always make noise when walking off of one.

The game doesn't have the most flawless ladder system in the world. I also wouldn't underestimate the importance of jumping down silently. I happened to find Run Silent + Electric Prod a very effective combo throughout the game (even the advanced MJ12 cyborgs fall in a single charge), though I don't know how fast you can go with full speed upgrade crouched.
