You will definitely want a variety of both of those; I've kept all of the frames I've built (even though there are only a couple that I use regularly), and I'm starting to wish that I hadn't sold so many of the weapons that I used to have.
Amen to this, the only frames I get rid of are the ones that I've got the prime version cooking in the foundry.

I'd suggest getting enough frame slots for all the frames and then somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30 weapon slots. Thats plenty of slots to work with, I'm at MR 20 with 24 weapon slots iirc.
