Which is better for general use, the MR+, slay +2 ring, or the +6 ev one? Also, which is better right now (unupgraded): the +1 randart large shield with rcorr and +3 dex (which is +1 ev in my case) or the +1 large shield of reflection?

[scott9027]

MR+ if it will make a non-trivial chance to get hexed into a trivial or 0% chance.

EV all the time otherwise, that's pretty much the second best non-artefact ring IMO.

I would opt for the large shield of reflection because it's hilarious, but the other is actually probably better, certainly better if there's an entropy weaver/jelly in the mix.

[and into]

Take off Dumeheol {rCorr rN+ SInv} and wear the +6 ev ring instead.

You already have rCorr on your hat.

If the +3 Dex shield only gives +1 ev, I'd probably go with reflection (again, already have rCorr on that nice hat of yours, so it doesn't matter that it is on shield).
