For unique armor, I would say a good looking set would be the Ebony Mail, with the Helm of Oreyn Bearclaw, Fists of Rangagulf, I guess the Ten Pace Boots (Boots of the Apostle are pretty ugly with the purply ting to them), and I guess I would go with ebony greaves and pauldrons to complete it. Hopefully you have the strength to carry all of that

I thought that glass looked pretty cool too but if you wore glass armor in real life it would be bad...I mean if the sword didn't kill you then the glass breaking would cut you to pieces.

Lucky that Morrowind's Glass armor is made from Volcanic Glass gotten out of Red Mountain then, ay?

I can't believe I didn't vote in this by now.
Glass. Why ? People often talk and talk and then talk some more about joys of Ebony or Daedric armor, about how much protection these overly heavy pieces of armor offer... hello ? The best AR/Weight ratio of the game belongs to glass. The ONE and ONLY elite unit in the game [put in there just to annoy those Indoril rednecks and make them feel like they should - INFERIOR] utilises Glass. And finally, Glass armor pieces are much easier to obtain within the game, unlike Ebony or Daedric. So suck on that, Mr. Fyr !

edit: Of course, I am only taking original MW into concideration, without expansions and mods. That discards High Ordinator armor which is interesting but still too damn heavy for my taste (that, and pauldrons look hillarious )

I think the poll was based on what armour looks the best. But yours reasons for the simply the most efficient armour is certainly correct. The AR rating for glass is quite excellent, though I forget is Stalhrim was just as good... I'll have to see sometime.

Orcish all the way!

glass for me. only because most of my characters are based on light armor and unarmored. i say its the strongest light armor and maybe the lightest?

I like heavy armour. Daedric was my favourite before because it protects good... But now I prefer Ebony, I feel so evil when I wear Daedric - too evil.

Glass looks very pretty on a woman, don't you think? Shiny and neat...yummy!

Netch Leather is good. Why buy expensive shiny armour, when cheap simple leather is quieter and cheaper to fix, hmm?
