As a war, your armor is important, so go as heavy as you can while avoiding encumberment.
I'm also assuming that that is your starting gladiator as his stats are pretty low. i'd recommend saving up for a 2nd gladiator, and If you want to make it a war too, look for good size and stamina (75+)
there is also a guide to building war gladiators here so give it a read :)
