Prevent crits iirc? I'd say the surefire choice is always torrent for them. The odds of avoiding a crit saving you isn't as high as surviving at <1/3 HP and getting that damage boost on top of your natural STAB.

For doesn't really matter for Samurott, since both abilities are garbage. You might be able to run a Focus Sash with torrent to get the boost, but even then, you die to faster mons and priority.

Shell Armor for Torterra definitely. He's defensive, and preventing crits can help keep you alive longer.

Just be aware of what priority moves and mon that use them will do 25%+ damage. Any ice shards should be able to destroy torterra.

Shell Armor is only useful if you are running a self boosting set buffing your defense or special defense for stall as crits ignore defense and special defense boosts.

If you are not running a self boosting set, you shouldn't really care if the opponent can crit and self damage boosting abilities at low health will get more use.
