Just curious, what is the benefit in going with one of the factions (future war cult, dead orbit, new monarch, etc) instead of just going with Vanguard. I am asking in regards to the legendary gear because I am focusing on getting Vanguard marks more than crucible marks right now. Does one faction have better gear than another? I haven't studied and compared them all but they seemed to look roughly the same except the aesthetics.

As far as I can tell they give different stats like intellect, discipline, and strength. Depending on what your character build is you want to find out which of these stats you want to max out.
