All depends on what tank you use.
Galente = armour
Caldari = shield
Galente because it has the armour bonuses and Caldari shields for the same reason.
Armour also seems to feel a lot better if you are using blasters seeing as you are generally in close range and shields for long range and railguns because you can retreat and let them recharge.
I'm not sure if it's the same for everybody or just the way it feels best to me, hope it helps.

Hard to say. You pretty much need to use Powergrid Modules which lowers the Tank of the Madrugar more than it does the Gunnlogi. Gunnlogi takes less damage to AV grenades (which are pretty much the best AV weapon at the moment) and Swarm Launchers (the most ubiquitous AV weapon right now) but their active Hardeners are terrible. Collisions and bumps murder Shields but do almost nothing to Armor. Also, I would not consider Enforcer Tanks Prototype Tanks. They have worse stats than a Standard HAV but deal more damage. The are pretty flimsy compared to the Gunnlogi or Madrugar.
I see a whole lot more Shield Tanks on the field than Armor Tanks, though I am not sure why. All in all, I say pick which you prefer. Would you rather die by bumping into things or infantry with a Nanohive and AV grenades? Those are the primary weaknesses of either HAV. |

I actually made a thread on this topic a few days ago. There's just over two pages of pros and cons between the two.

Go ahead and give that a read.

theres more shield HAVs because the last build was balance in HAVs warfare but favored shields in AV fights now in HAV warfare armor wins by a large margin and in AV fights it still favors shields because the plasma cannon is lacking in the direct damage thus making SL the favored AV weapon still. |

For Tanking In General, Armor Lets you Take more hits, But you don't Naturally Regen it, So leave a Slot open for Armor Repairers.
Shield regen Naurally But aren't as Strong as Armor Tanks |
