In terms of pure tankiness, Ice is the best one, mathematically. However the difference is a matter of a few percent, and I prefer to run Electric because the boost to your shields is useful for builiding up Vex Armor, and the proc can be useful CC.

Fire is good for healing allies, and it used to be considered the best for effective health, but that was before we knew that the Ice element adds directly to base health which means all the other things are boosted by it.

Toxin is probably the least useful in terms of tankiness, and honestly I don't feel the reload speed is all that worth it. The above comment recommends it with Sancti Tigris, but imo the Sancti's reload speed is already pretty good, and Toxin won't make it anything special.
