Armor tanking
Far higher HP
Less PG/CPU usage
Less slots usage
Is in the low slots, so you can fit damage mods in the highs = Higher damage

now imagine if all shield suits were balanced so that you could only get 70% of an armor suits total EHP.
But you had a 1 second delay overall till your shield bgan recharging.
That's meaningless if the delay stops even if you lose 1 single goddamn hp though.

Just lol @ that statement. Anytime I'll see your name in a thread, I'm not gonna read what you have to say.
Plus youdidn't even mention the Shotgun, the ion pistol, the laser and you mentioned the flaycock? lol.
And than if you fit ferroscales and reactives and put a kin cat, you still have a godmode aHP with 8m/s+ speed; pretty much what a lot of galassaults and amarr are doing.

Imo what should be done to incentivize Shield tanking a bit is:
Complex Shield Extenders HP 66 > 70
Complex Shield Extenders delay penalty 7% > 6%
or
Complex Shield Extenders HP 66 > 75

Cover and tactical positioning/maneuvering OP PLS NERF
That being said, you're history 9 times out of 10 if caught with your pants down.
Shields are the best for skirmish warfare. For fighting 40-70m out in cover and flanking.
Armor is best for CQC warfare. Get in close, and use that passive regen to keep the regen going, even when being hit moving cover to cover.
EDIT:
Fits I run:
Min Assault MK.0
3x Comp Shields
1x Energizer
1x Ferroscale
1x Complex Armor Repair (Or Regulator, depending on mood)
1x Complex Shield Regulator
1x Complex Kincat
465 Shields
320 Armor
Sprints at 8.77
2x Regulator gives you 2/3 delay/depleted
1x Regulator gives you 4/5 delay/depleted
One of my favorite fits, well suited to quickly traversing the battlefield and flanking, with excellent regen to boot.
That is pretty much the main advantage Armor Tankers (with rep modules in this case) have, being able to regen their HP with totally 0 delay and even while being shot.
