That depends on the usage of the armor.
Having said that, ubese decays the fastest, especially the chestplate. It's the ultimate mid-range armor, having kinetic as a special, and it will be a money maker for sure, as long as you price well and have at least 70% kinetic resists on your armor.
Other armors, eg not composite or ubese, are not very popular, but personally I love chitin armor for the very low ham hehe.

PS: As a TKM I went through one suit in 3 days (less?) of doing janta missions, so for the heavy combat types they will go through 1 or 2 suits in a week. For others, a suit may last a month or so, it all depends on how heavily the suit is used.

It is pretty hard to answer the question about the decay on armor. It depends on too many things: what person hunts for example, how often he/she goes out killing stuff, etc etc. My alt is a PVP'er and I go through at least 2-3 chests/helmetsa week. Also, some parts decay much faster then the others, for example chestplates and helmets blow up much faster then arm pieces or gloves. Thats why in addition to full suits that I sell in bags I always have some spare parts for sale,chestplates/helmets/boots/pants are the most popular as in faster decaying.
As for what sells good besides comp..I only make composite and ubese, since I found that if i start pruducing more armor of different kinds its much more time consuming and it was getting me burnt out. Ubese sells rather well, from my vendor it goes as fast as omposite. I've noticed at least on my server that not too many armorsmiths make Wookie armor, so this is something to concider.
Hopefully this was any help, I was just rambling for the most part

more of the guild back up armor smith. Comp sells the fastest followed by Ubese. Lately on Intrepid there has been more and more request for Padded.
Chestplast are the first to go for most armor, but the Ubese goes faster since it is both chest and bi-cep when wearing it.
I sometimes sell suits of armor with an additional chest piece when doing the Ubese since it will wear down faster.

I'm jumping into the wook armor gig, but the organics and armor padding are a pain to get....

I sell through Kashyyykian very quickly and typically sell more than one suit to each customer. I also stock extra Chestplates since they seem to go quickest on every armor type. People using 'Cheater Suits' (Helmet, Chestplate, Boots and Gloves) seem to burn through Chestplates even quicker.
The hardcore customers I have will buy once a week and typically buy more than one suit at a time. My friends that are more into PvE and lower end hunting usually take a few weeks to chew through a suit.
