Well: for starters I'd pick one damage type and stick to it, getting two appropriate tactical consoles for maximum benefit. A traditional and fairly straightforward build is to focus on beam arrays, taking 6 or so, and then focus on keeping your weapons+shield power as high as possible. It'll give you sound dps whilst being pretty tough as well.
As for items, focus on getting the Retro Borg set - you can buy the first 3 pieces for 5 Encrypted Data Chips (you get these from completing STFs) each from the vendor behind the desk on DS9 (the assimilated borg shield/deflector/engine), and there is a console you receive from one of the Borg missions in the story to complete the 4-piece set. It's a solid set, pretty quick to acquire, and can be combined nicely with other sets, such as the Maco.
