At mastery level I don't thing there is a difference, except possibly the durability. At expert level, heavy armour will way the same as light armour, and light armour will weigh nothing. At master level, light armour will have DOUBLE the defence value, and heavy armour will have zero encumbrance.

Potato, potahto...

At lower levels, light armour provides less damage reduction, but more mobility. So if your style involves a lot of side stepping to avoid blows altogether, heavy armour will slow you down. If you prefer to just stand your ground and whack, heavy armour is the one to take.

Also, don't wear full daedric armour if you strength is low and you're a puny wizard with low hp.
