Valkyr is the hands down best long term Survival frame.

For Defense you'll want a hard CC frame and it depends a little on the faction.

Infested: Vaunban/Equinox/Ember

Others: Nyx (Chaos), Loki (Disarm + Zenurik), Rhino (Stomp + Zenurik),

There's a couple other choices, those are what I tend to use. Frost seems like a good choice but depeding how long you stay eventually enemies will start to rip through his globes and Slow from his cold and from frames like Nova isn't enough to keep you or the Objective alive. Those two are more for groups.

Defense isn't that great for farming though, not anymore at least. For weapons: stealth is good lvls and for general lvls Excavation is prolly the best normal mission type as you get keys and cores ontop of exp.
