i like leathers because you get both magical and psysical defense.

Here is the post. Its somewhat old and might be outdated (Arena Data and Old cata data)
http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=39762184&f=272&o=0
But the data seems to be the same Scales > Leather > Chain > Plate (doesn't have leather but I would imagine this is where it goes)

Hope that helps :D

Edit: Sorry about the necro. I didn't realize this was 6 days old...

Vouch. Scales with high EE trump the rest, Leather is a close 2nd. Chain/Padded Robe are trailing in 3rd with Plate/Robe in last place as far as best defense is concerned. Of course, it is situational, if you are trying to complete Mirror Maze and fighting the objective at the end, you may want a beefy Plate instead, similar to how Robes are nice for tanking caster mobs.

The chart was made before Kaspir was really around, he may have "borrowed" it and called it his own though. Pretty sure A_U_T_I_S_M first did the tests but his info changed after the update to magical defense on armor which was a while back.
