The stats difference between Mk XI & XII aren't that much, while XI is quite a bit cheaper. But set bonuses between different marks are also a bit better for Mk XII versions.
Aren't they going to be changing them in Season 9 so that all the rep gear is at Mk XII? I'm holding off slotting rep gear projects until the new season comes around.
On a slightly unrelated note, does anyone have screenshots of the KDF Omega uniforms? I'm looking specifically for shoulder pads that work with the Bortas uniform, since it still doesn't have any.

This character is why I don't play my Romulan any more. Tovan Khev is NOT my BFF! Get him off my bridge!
If they touch the attack pattern bonus on the Romulan impulse engines in that update, I'll send Tovan on a diplomatic mission to negotiate peace with a V-Rex just to show my appreciation. Unarmed of course. Don't want to provoke anyone...
the omega rep gear HAS mk xii variants but I don't play elite STFs so I cannot get the neural processors to buy it
As it stands now, correct. However I'm sure I remember reading in a recent dev blog that the ability to purchase Mk X and Mk XI versions of the rep gear was going away with Season 9, and that all rep gear would be Mk XII from that point on.

I prefer my mark 11s. The bonus on the engine and deflector is so small as to be inconsequential. However, the cost difference in dil (once you account for mark and processor conversions) pretty much doubles going up to 12. Plus if you're going to use an Elite Fleet shield anyways, the only good reason to go Mk12 is OCDness. I'm annoyed that they're doing this.
If the lower-grade is already in the items database, I'll decide my own needs, thanks.
For example, 2 pc KHG will give you 25% of torpedo damage boost. The KHG engine works pretty well at low engine power. At the same time it will boost engine and/or aux and/or weapon if they are low. Personally, as a tac in escort class, I run with low engine and aux power so I get some + points in them.
Then of course, you need to know which deflector works best for your sci abilities, or if you are not into offensive sci then which deflector will give you + in which power(s) and/or skill tree.
I have written some stuff here man moons ago. This can be a bit old or simply not according to your play style.
Grinding for MkIV epic gear?

so if I have a MK XI MACO shield, will it be upgraded to MK XII? I have not done the omega grind to get the other components

Yup. They are indeed
That boils down to:
