Heavy slows you down and I've never seen heavy that has desireable magical bonuses for stealth characters that some of the light armor has (specifically the dark brotherhood stuff... best armor I've found for a stealth character).
Typically my stealth character can attack with a bow a couple times before the heavy gets close, then run out of his range (they typically don't even get a swing in) and attack again. Only guy I've ever fought that I couldn't outrun was a crazy unarmed fighter in Bruma - that guy was a pita.
