What makes basi good on some heroes but not others? Basi is really common on say, windrunner, but why not shadow demon? or rubick?

Basi is typically a tool for sidelane farmers (e.g. off-laners or carries) as a tool for lane control and general mana in lane. It is especially appealing in trilane scenarios.

Supports generally are not the ones to buy a Basi unless there is no other holder, because they often do not spend the time in lane to utilize the lane control aspect of the item, and generally need cheaper raw stats.

But in a pub, I find I spend way more time in lane than I do in ixdl or something. As long as no one else has it, it's good? Also I know the armor from aquila doesn't stack with basi but does the regen?

It's the exact same aura, so no. You can have each aura exactly once.

Physical damage, heroes with pure damage (tinker is amazing as is timber saw), diffusal to remove ghost scepter if he goes that route

I have found that the best way to deal with Huskar is to kill him a lot. I haven't found a good way to out lane him (burning spears are insanely good now), but if you can gank/counter gank him when he dives your teammates you can set him really far behind. I really like Tinker (pure damage laser with a blind is really awesome) and Timbersaw (lots of pure damage with the -strength from Whirling Death) for killing Huskar.

Well, I'll be damned.

...

As said previously, pure damage, heavily right clickers that are hard for him to focus (PL as the game goes on), diffusal blade, Pure Damage are good against him.

That does sound dumb, but my point was that beating him in lane is a lot harder now. I specifically mentioned this because the guy asking the question said his old way to deal with Huskar was to outlane him with TA.

Blademail is still very legit vs huskar. The damage return bypasses magic resistance (although it is prevented by magic immunity).

Armor applies to physical damage no matter the source.
