Tanking gear bought with badges?

Ignoring gems, enchants, and anything not already included in the item upon purchase, what's the biggest upgrade?
Crimson Girdle of the Indomitable
to
Girdle of the Fearless
or
Wrynn Dynasty Greaves
to
Sunguard Legplates
I'm in a raid group that has Karazhan and Gruul on farm status, three bosses in Zul'Aman killed and are getting ready to start on Serpentshrine Cavern.
My main concern here is that I have a hard time gathering and saving badges, so before spending the 75 that I have now on the Girdle of the Fearless I'm not sure if I should keep them to hit 100 and get the legplates.
The other concern that I have is that I know the
T5 legs
and
Girdle of the Invulnerable
both drop in SSC, however I'm not sure how difficult the instance is and which of the two I'd be more liable to get first as well as how long it would take on average for a raid group to progress far enough through the instance to the bosses that drop these, so I figured I'd look for the opinion of a person who has raided SSC.

With a little math here is what I came up with, assuming all +12 stamina gems (I know you said without but sockets are an upgrade so I'm ignoring that, leg kits would equal each other out so I did skip those) by taking the
belt
you will get:+177 armor
-16 strength
+34 stamina
+10 defense
+23 hit
+22 expertise
-20 shield block ratingwith the
pants
you get:+275 armor
-24 strength
+18 stamina
+16 defense
+6 dodge
+23 expertiseI'm not that great at math and I did that rather quickly so there may be mistakes, but looking at those numbersI would say the belt is a better upgrade (ignoring any possible drops from raids). Though slightly lacking in other stats, you gain more stamina, hit rating and expertise than you would from the pants, those are some of your most important stats.

So you would recommend I put a stamina gem in the belt instead of anything else?
