Basic math, really. Let's assume no energy gain, that the Wiki values are accurate, skills are at maximum level and Flow is unequipped (though the results are basically the same with ou without it).

With Continuity you can use Speed 6 times, lasting 9.1 seconds in each use and thus giving 54.6 seconds of running. As for Electric Shield, you can use 3 times, lasting 32.5 seconds in each use, thus giving 97.5 seconds of shield (or 99 if the game rounds it up). No energy left in either case.

With Streamline you can use Speed 8 times, lasting 7 seconds in each use, and thus giving 56 seconds of running. As for Electric Shield, you can use 4 times, lasting 25 seconds in each use, thus giving 100 seconds of shield. 10 energy left on both cases (using the same skill until there's no energy left).

Basically the same thing. However, Streamline also works for Shock and Overload, while Continuity doesn't (?). I'm not saying Continuity isn't useful though, just that Streamline seems like a better option if only one of them is going to be equipped.

I'm not really a Volt player (for some reason I didn't like it much), but what I'd use is: all 4 skills, Fast Deflection, Flow, Focus, Redirection, Streamline and Stretch (all at max; yeah, needs polarization, I know).
