Imo it deppends on ur class. For pure melee or light tanks i would say the % increase is better as u have a quite high ws, but for hybrid tanks +str cap is reather more usefull as it will increase both damage and ws.

Example:

Zerker: melee damage for 300 without bonusses, now a 4% melee damage will increase it in 12 more points per swing, and the % style will increase it a bit more. With a nice ws without a +str cap zerkers dont miss often.

Thane: melee damage for 140 (1 handed), the 4% will increase 6 damage per swing. In the other hand, with such low ws as thanes have we miss or get a block/parry/evade quite often, and with a +12 str cap we get 40 more ws, which can be the difference between a miss or a hit.

For a zerk i would get the % damage, but as cami said, both is better

Get both you gimp.

Out of those two, if I really had to choose, I'd choose the % damage.
