From another thread (I didn't want to hijack)
I poked around and what it seems is, for any combat situation I probably want heavy torso, since it enables 4 grenades and a heavy weapon, but I probably want medium or even light for everything else to aid mobility. I don't want a heavy helmet because it does indeed restrict your vision. You can't even see all your mobiglass options with a heavy helmet on.
I can't find a list anywhere of special attributes, but it looks like most of the enhancements like EVA, lighting, movement, etc. are on light armor.
10% difference between medium and heavy armor might not sound like much, but indeed it does make a huge difference. Watch this guy:

Scanning the numbers of weapons one can carry with each armor necessarily begs the question, do you slow down the more you carry? Just because heavy torso can carry 4 weapons doesn't mean you'd want to carry more than one. Personally I think it's nuts people carry a pistol when also carrying a SMG. That SR71 looks pretty great. Most missions that would be enough for me unless there is no penalty for carry more weapons, in which case a P4 (with Tau Plus) and Scalpel might make more sense, at least outdoors.
Great vid! And yeah, obnoxious but funny. Excellent work.
