Agreed with Azred. The set I use the most is the Robes of the Watcher (I think that's what they're called) - they give AC 3 and are taken off of Malavon's corpse. Ogi-Luc's Great Robe is the one that gives huge strength and AC 4, if the Str gain is not redundant from other items (Gauntlets of Ogre Power, e.g.) given to a F/M. The Shadowed Robe (AC 4, some magic resistance) isn't bad either, and it's found relatively early in the game (Severed Hand) - it's random, though.

A F/M will never have the best AC in the party unless it takes armor incompatible with spellcasting, so the protective spells of mage and cleric are the keys to making the character a melee force in the mid to late game stages.
