I would not agree with Demon
I would not agree with Demon about Skolver being better. That depends on sooo many other things like gear & number of people in the party is pretty much a personal opinion kinda thing.
From a defensive standpoint I can not think of a single run that mixing Vog & Skolver would protect you better then a full set of one or the other (depending on the run).
The only reason to mix the two would be to achieve whatever weapon buff you are going for. The best weapon buff depends on your weapon(s), how you use them, and your personal preference.
I often run FSC with a Vog/Skolver mix, BTS, Elite Slash trinket, & Elite Quickstrike trinket. Along with my UV CTR High Levi & my UV CTR High Combuster. This gives my swords DMG Max, CTR Ultra, & ASI VH. I mostly spam charges with my Brandish in FSC so DMG+ & CTR are the most important (ASI helps too though, especially for quick shielding). Whenever I get around to crafting another Slash trinket I will trade that out for the Quickstrike trinket & go back to full Vog. This will give me the exact same buff, but with better tuned armor for FSC.
Short answer you will eventually want both a Vog set and a Skolver set (and Snarbolax or other Shadow set as well).

If you've rather new to fsc,
If you've rather new to fsc, get the vog. Otherwise it could be very frustrating learning the ropes since full skolver is rather unforgiving.
Also, T3 constructs and gremlins would punish you if you have no elemental defense.
Hybrid first for your 5* armor set, then get a vog coat, then skolver helm to have a full set of each.

I prefer damage bonus over
I prefer damage bonus over asi. Asi can be compensated for with shield canceling and that lunge technique on the wiki. On the other hand, that damage bonus gives you damage vs everything, and you can't cover that with playstyle, even if you just spam right click.
Granted, asi makes weapons safer to use, and you can theoretically out dps damage bonus with it.

Yup. Preference.
I wont touch a 2 swing sword with out at least ASI VH (unless its the Hammer which I always love), but with Brandishes I spam the charge which benefits more from DMG+. Number of players is a big factor too. If I am solo'n in a locked party I favor ASI over DMG+ regardless (if I have to choose one over the other, best choice is all) of the weapon because monsters have drastically less hitpoints.
My advice (based on boss runs) would be to go Vog first. There is only 1 T3 non-SL boss & Vog is perfect for it, JK is the easiest boss ever (it goes even faster then Snaby when in 5* gear), and Vog is just fine for any T2/T1 work. The only reason to go Skolver first would be for LD.

Necro
There should be a feature that gives a big warning when you are about to necro a 6 month old thread :/
Don't necro! Especially not with unreadable overly broad and not argumented text.

Vogver will be your name
And it will be awesome since you can mass DPS more than people with full skolver and full vog.
Vogver (sorry but I like the name) would also be good for almost any situation including LD. You can hit faster than those pesky skolvers and hit harder than those annoying Vogs and shivers and ash of agnis won't do so much damage to you.
@Masterchieef Yea that is right but dosen't the shield break like every time? I'd prefer CoA more than SB in Vana. And the UV's are unlikely too (you are one lucky guy)
@Psykoglory ASI High-Max

well it holds like 2-3 hits
well it holds like 2-3 hits til it breaks but if you are skiled enough you can avoid dmg but if you take CoA you wil lose speed from SWB so it is your choice
Full vog is better for vana, hybrid is better for most other things. Full skolver is better if you can dodge/avoid damage from elemental or shadow sources.
