I think it all depends on what you consider "best".
With effort and credits you can get some pretty amazing armor that has high numbers in terms of protection. However, I like to think of it over a longer term. For methe best armor is armor that I'm familiar with,can almost always get my hands on, and won't put me in major debt if I lose a piece while repairing.
1. For PvE against critters, I use Advanced Ubese with 70 plus % kenetic protect.
2. For PvP, I use pretty much a standard set of Composite that has some degree of stun protection (usually in the 30s).
3. If I happen to be PvE against NPCs, I'll use my PvP armor.
4. I almost always have a PSG on.
For what it's worth, I also have another character that I'm building up and as a test decided not to use any armor at all (mostly because I'm lazy). What I've found is that I can pretty well without any armor at all, so long asI have buffs,a dose of pixie ready, and some vesperi (spelling) food in case of emergency. It's kinda thrilling to fight without armor.

Yep, and for all those losers out there, 25% stun or 40% stun doesn't matter!
25% stun armor: Say someone hits you with a stun baton for 100 damage
Light armor rating reduces it to 50 damage
25% stun rating reduces it to 37-38 damage
25% stun armorreduces 62% of the damage
40% stun armor: Someone hits you for 100 damage again
armor rating reduces it to 50 damage
40% stun reduces it to 30 damage
40% stun armor reduces 70% of the damage
Not to mention the damage that will be reduced if you have a PSG equipped, in other words, there barely is any differencebetween 25% and 40% stun armor, in fact I'd say 25% is better because it's easier to get some 90% base armor with that
Yes, but don't forget the pvpriflemen with uber jawas. They don't do just 100 damage,they haveap1 andwe don't have ranged mitigation.

80% resists to everything unsliced ... impossible
I would love to see how you get that. The very best I have seen unsliced is 75% to everything and 26% to stun and that was using multiple high base looted components.
How exactly do you get 80% base to everything unsliced? I would love to know.

88/40 is much better than 90/25 due to rifleman with ap1 jawa.

We have 90base/25 stun(PVE) and 88base/40stun(PVP), and of course the usual 80/80/90, which is 80/80/70 unsliced.
