i put mine in kraken shell because
a) i like the look (most important)
b) the str req isn't *too* high
c) the def is decent enough (i made it in 512 def one i think)
d) i like the look :uhhuh:
edit: if i wanted to shell out for my number one armour of choice it would've been archon, but those are expensive for 3 socket nice def versions and i didn't really wanna pay that just for a cheap runeword like duress. other good options are wire fleece/great hauberk. basically anything with good def and fairly low str req unless you have uber str for some reason, then any elite armour you like is what you should go for.
