I prefer even basic ED bases, since the final defense is boosted from the highest defense value of the non superior version. For example, a superior Archon Plate with 7% ED will have 7% added to 524, whereas a normal Archon Plates will have a range from low 400s to low 500s. Even the worst superior armor will always be better than the best possible non superior version of that same time, and they're not that hard to come across. The only issues with superior are the repair costs and style points. If you don't die and you MF a lot, gold cost doesn't matter. Style points don't matter to many, but it's either an awkward 7% or something or a perfect and more expensive 15% ED.
