You don't use Alertness or Combat Equilibrium. They are passive abilities, like Block or Dodge. Alertness helps you avoid a sniper shot (I think?) and the Combat Equilibirum has something to do with getting up from being knocked down. I think when you initially fall over it rolls against your CE score and does that for each turn until the knockdown is over or until you are successful and get up.
Go and read the combat FAQs. There is information there as to what each of those defense specials do. Basically its this: Your melee and ranged defense score is what initially determins if you are hit by your opponent. If you are then it rolls again against your Counterattack, Block, or Dodge score. Each one of these is determined by what weapon YOU are currently using. I know that Block only applies to Pikeman and Rifleman (why rifleman I don't know, it seems silly to me to block a shot with a rifle). Dodge is for Pistolleer and Fencer. So If you are a pikeman, you will never use dodge. Carbanier uses counterattack.
To answer your question, none of them are better than the other, it just depends on which weapon you have in your hand and the ability you have for the secondary defense. On a side note: the Counterattack ability is supposed to return a portion of the damage your opponent has done to you back to them. The dodge allows you to completely avoid damage, and Block reduces the damage taken. I think I've seen that Block works more often than dodge, but then you are still taking damage.
Does that make it clear as mud?
