This is a question for which the answer can only be based on personal opinion. Heavy armor is stronger, but it weighs a lot, and slows you down slightly. The perks you can get for this armor will negate most of it's cons, but will take a while to obtain. Heavy armor is useful if you plan on being able to take hits, but don't plan on being an efficient sneaker. Light armor is easier to sneak in, weighs very little, and doesn't slow you down when worn. However, it is less effective at protecting you, and lacks any perks that can make up for this like heavy armor. Light armor is useful if you plan on moving fast, getting a lot of sneak attacks, and avoiding attacks and direct confrontation.
