Having 444 DEF for both trees that give inate armor or 0044 DEF + 0400 ENH for force armor? Keep in mind force armor can be armor broken and inate armor is raw defence which cannot be armor broken.

Bit of advice, don't bet on it. Innate armor can be broken the same way force armor can be AB'd.

lol, boy do I wish.
I guess I can see from your point of view how technically xx44 DEF+ FA would be better than the 444 Defender BUT keep in mind the Force cost associated with FA. In fights that do last more than 10 mins, you will feel the pinch as your force drains on every attack.
B. def 4440 / enh x0xx : 5400 innate
C. def 0044 / enh x4xx : 3000 innate, 7000 with fa, block
Neither is a bad choice and it depends on what you are looking for.
Choose A if you want decent all purpose armor and the ability to boost it at the cost of some force. Note: FA drains on damage taken, so the 4200 innate will lower force cost over just having FA and no defender.
If you want good all around armor and don't want to spend any force on defenses (aside from aura obviously) chose option B.
If you want to block a lot of range attacks, especially if coupled with MLS, take option C. This is the most force-intensive as you have lower innate armor (hence higher FA costs) as well as force spent blocking hits via valor.
Innate armor and Force Armor can be AB'd however. Good luck.
