But you have to choose only one of those effects, and +2 to Parry is usually the best bet.

I do not find it so. The option to roll two defence rolls against each attack is at least equally viable, if not often mathematically superior. And, as I noted above, the Increased Dodge option is a superb way to get around a battlefield, for example to assume a flanking position.

All three varieties of All-Out Defence seem to me pretty decent.
