armor to weight ratios

I was curious about how efficient each armor piece was since I'm playing a stealth character but couldn't find anything about it online, so i did the math myself. I took the total resistance of the armor set (DR+ER) and divided that number by the armor sets weight, this gave me the resistance of the armor set per pound (res/lb). This list only includes complete armor sets and excludes helmets since some sets don't have a helmet. For my calculations i only used the base non upgraded version of the armor, values may change depending on the armor mods used (ultra-light, leaded ect.) Hope this is useful to some of you, obviously if all you care about is resistances you can ignore this list and simply go for the armor you like best.
