I think design of SCs (especially in the late game) is all about the platform not the items. If you are encumberance zero then monolith armour is fine otherwise its probably not a great idea. If you are flying don't get boots that make you fly, if you aren't then flying shoes are an excellent idea. If you're ethereal you dont need an item to do it with otherwise (especailly vs. chaff) you need it quit badly. The other thing to consider is your opponent: vs ashen empire you might want the unquenched sword, and the forrbidon light whereas against jotonheim (unless your a fire astral mage) you might be better off with the summit and a ring of regeneration and pendant of luck.
