The Beetle Field Plate is the "best" armor in the game, IMHO. Sure, there are a couple of armors that have a higher AC bonus, but you don't get them until much, much later in the game. You get the 1/4 wgt Beetle Field Plate (+8 AC bonus) very early in the game and will get excellent value for it.

Additionally, the fact that it only wieghs about 15-17 lbs makes it very excellent armor for less than maxed out STR clerics.
