No Man's Sky

Was just skimming the community and saw the recent Atlas Scepter post and it had me thinking;

I don't know much about multitools beyond there's several categories, put things I like most in the supercharge slots, and higher numbers in relevant stats are better... in other words the very basics.

My multi is primarily a weapon platform then a scanner and mining tool. So, what category of tool should I be looking for and what should I know about them? I do like the Runic Lens on the Atlas Scepter and noticed the Atlantid mutlis have it as well... could I move that onto a different mutli if/when I replace it?
