You're going to want two suits, at least.  For soloing, you want AC and resistances first, then str etc.  When you're in a group with good tanks/healers, you want strength first.  The reasoning behind this is simple.  When soloing, you want to make it as hard as possible for them to hurt you.  When in a group, you can concentrate on damage rather than defense since you won't be taking the hits if there are decent tanks in the group.
My defense gear includes things like ac rings/earrings, symbols of loyalty to vox, etc, all as light as possible.  My offense gear is strength rings/earrings, hero/erollisi bracers, etc.  Yes, it puts me over my weight limit (the hero bracer is 4 weight all by itself), but it's not really a concern if I'm not getting hit.

Well, I've been fighting in Dalnir's for a while now (about two weeks, off
and on), and yesterday, I stumbeled upon THREE pieces of Crescent:  Gi, arms,
and slippers.

The slipers are a no-brainer, since I had been wearing cured silk.  But, the
other two are a bit harder.

I *was* wearing a Foreman's Tunic (10AC, +3 STR, +3 WIS), so I think the
+7 str of the Gi more than makes up for the 2 AC difference.  (The Gi is AC8)

But, I'm wearing Auzure sleves.  I don't think that the stats of the arms even
come close to the AC of the Azure.  Comments?

So, for now, I carry around the arms to sell with (+2 CHA)

I can't wait to get more of this stuff.  I'm still wearing cured silk sholders
and cape.
