Edit: I'm done with this. Edited cloth/light/heavy with peerless; haven't done the others. Someone else can take over.
Comparisons are same-to-same: same slot and (whenever possible) average with level unassigned. Used level-based stats because base stats are all on a 1-200 scale.
Positive comparisons first, then ellipsis (...), then negative comparisons.
"
need to confirm": needs a double-check. Hard to tell, sample size too small. Or missing data (currently only burden/interference for most cloth).
Currently missing PAB comparisons for most (updating with peerless).
Gossamer (vs cotton): +evade, +resist, +agi... no crushing, no attack accuracy
Ironsilk (vs cotton): ++crushing, has slashing, has piercing(3/4 value of crush/slash), no burden... no magic accuracy
[
need to confirm burden for gossamer and interference for gossamer/ironsilk, since neither burden nor interference currently appear for cotton or gossamer [or phase])
Drakehide (vs leather): +mmit, +evade, -burden, -interference*... -pmit
Kevlar (vs leather): +evade, +piercing... -resist, +interference*
[*interference note: -/+ interference disappears with peerless; presumably, the % difference decreases as quality increases]
Chain (vs plate): +crushing, --burden, -interference*... -pmit, -mmit, -slashing, --piercing, -end
Reactive (vs plate): has block, +piercing... -slashing**
[*interference note: --interference with peerless; presumably, the % difference increases as quality increases]
[**reactive slashing note: difference is negligible]
[
need to confirm crushing because reactive peerless was dampening, so couldn't compare]
[reactive data is entirely from peerless]
Dagger (vs shortsword): +accuracy, +crit damage, +parry, ---burden, ---interference... -adb
Dagger (vs wakizashi): +adb +accuracy, +crit damage, -burden, --interference... -parry, no attack speed
[note for dagger vs waki: adb and parry ranges overlap, so this is a very small +adb and a very small -parry]
Scythe (vs longsword): +adb, -burden... -accuracy, +interference
[rip longswords?]
Great mace (vs mace): +great
Ebony: all edb, elem/holy/dark profs... slightly less edb than redwood(
need to confirm), no counter-resist, no sup/dep profs
Tower (vs kite): +block, +pmit, +mmit... ++burden
