General Rule of thumb for Armor fits for missioning

You only need to worry about neuts if you’re fighting Blood Raiders, in which case you should also consider weapons that don’t require capacitor (projectile or missile) .

Otherwise, an active armor tank has advantages - no impact on your speed or signature radius, making your ship harder to hit. For a basic, 3-slot tank I use an EANM, reactive hardener and armor repair.

L4s in a Vedmak check this out. Armor tanked vs blood raiders and holds up just fine. Tons of DPS and fun to play.
