Armor tanking seems to be more popular. I've also heard it's more difficult to take down by forge gun. You are talking about tanks, right? Not armor tanking?

I feel like Dust will always be an armor tank's game, as far as vehicles go.
Legion? That'll be another story, if it's released.
Some details can be ignored

In infantry combat, MOST players tend to curse their experiments with shield-tanking, and resort to armour-tanking for their fighting. They will say the game is unfairly nerfing shields in a dozen theoretical waysGǪ but you have to really pay attention to the way we use shields/armour in an engagement--compared to the way the Devs DESIGNED them to be used in an engagement, to notice that the "shield-nerfed" theory may not be valid.
In vehicle combat (which USUALLY means only HAVs and Dropships---not much thought is given to Lavs), there is a more physical restriction that TENDS to make armour-tanking more popular than shield-tanking.
Dust's gear is Racial, and not wide open for players to slap on and use in any fighting style they unconsciously play. Each race has a technological-bias (or "preference") towards fighting a certain way, and using their WAY of fighting can make your shield-tank (or armour-tank) work way better than you've been doing when you DON'T learn or care anything about the Race-tech.
The technologies of New Eden is something many players don't take the time to study AT ALL, and that's a shame. Some of the vet players have commented about this, and TRIED to nudge the mainstream players into getting the message, so fewer of us will feel so aimless and easy to slaughter.
ButGǪ well, most players aren't getting the message. Dust SEEMS like just another "grab-gun-shoot-moving-enemy-soldier" game, but it DOES work way better for you, and makes you a much more lethal player, if you do a little studying and reasoning.
 I knowGǪ people don't like the idea of having to do a little homework in a leisure game.

Yes at present Armour HAV (the Gallente HAV) are considered superior due to a combination of 40% armour hardeners that can be double stacked to provide and insane amount of eHP (effective hit points) and eRPS (effective repairs per second).
You have two schools of fitting choices for your tanks.
