Best suit for a fighter is simple, unenchanted Full Plate Mail (AC1).

Why? Because this means that you can wear the ring of protection +2 (or +3), giving you an armour class between -1 and -2 PLUS an additional boost to your saving throw of 2 or 3 points.

Resistance to fire, acid, cold etc can be handy with blue dragon plate et. al - but not nearly as much as that boost to your saving throws which will be needed far more often than those resistances ever will be.

Yeah the full plate mail doesn't look very cool - but there's nothing to stop you from altering the colour code of plate04.itm to something nicer with infinity editor (a blueish value of 17 or 18 looks pretty good).
