VHDP half plate vs. SWCP half plate

[LizardClan1]

Dear Warriors,

What would you prefer to wear?: Very Heavy Damage Padded Half Plate, or Somewhat Crit Padded Half Plate?

Thanks!

Not half plate but between those probably VHDP.

Assuming the same enchant on each, the damage padding. This is in spite of the fact that my hunting styles tend to heavily favor crit padding. The different in amount of padding is simply to great.
