My personal preference was to just go raw damage since the lex's already-high base damage capitalizes on it well. This isn't to say a crit build is bad, but I think there are more immediate benefits to going flat damage for most general-purpose scenarios.

That being said, given time, commitment, and a couple formas, the lex becomes pretty decent for farther-end gameplay since you can fit a nice combination of both the damage upgrades and critical mods into your build...and due to the high crit chance I think this is one of the few secondary weapons that can actually utilize a crit build well in end-game...a pity it's still overshadowed by the throwing weapons.
