PLD with hauby +1..
Maybe for WS.. but you won't get more enmity by wearing it full time.
-20 Eva means you get hit more often which leads to more enmity loss.
You also miss out the enmity from Gallant Surcoat, and a small defense bonus.

In all my years of playing FFXI, I have yet to see a PLD effectively evade anything higher than a DC mob. Being able to make contact with the mob with combined acc and atk would more than make up for any enmity loss of being hit like normal.
Also I would think negative evasion would help narrow the window of opportunity forcing shield/parry to proc more, but I could be mistaken. I notice PLDs that build 100% based on damage mitigation miss worse than a blind elvaan drk that melees in str rings, so it's kind of a loop hole of enmity loss by not being able to hit the mob and keeping def/vit whatever or hitting the mob and losing enmity from being hit so often. But that happens anyways.
