Speedy kit or not speedy kit?!
I had the same dilemma about extra damage or perma speed for the last 10 points. I stuck with speedy kits just because it’s more useful overall in WvW and PvE.
I tried playing without speedy kits. I can’t do it. After a while I’m so used to perma swiftness that any other method of play feels so slow so speedy kits is a must.
I would honestly stick with speedy kits if you do a lot of WvW or if you dislike running downtime in PvE.
If you are allergic to these ingredients, do not consume.
I had the same dilemma. I just started running with a 20/30/0/20/0 build without speedy kits for the first time ever. For out of combat running, I have to rely on MedKit #5, which is annoying. But in combat, I have the Firearms III trait Infused Precision which grants 5s swiftness on crit (50%). Running a high crit FT build I actually have swiftness quite a lot.

4 runes of air with med kit= problem solved
(I run+ 100% condition build using 2 runes of mad king so it works, oh and 20 points in alchemy for backpack regenerator which also boosts boon duration)
Can get runes of the centaur with medkit.
Until they get mounts or add the boon for 25% run speed to one of the gadgets I can’t play without speedy kits, it hurts too much to run that slow.
