The balancing factor between the various pieces of armor are their prices and availability, but under chargen rules, availability only matters if it's 13 or higher (you can't get it) and the prices are only a few hundred nuyen apart (which is nothing in chargen unless you're playing street-level rules). The only reason to go for the Lined Coat over Armored Jacket honestly is the built-in concealable holster and that it gives a bonus to small items concealed under it.If your GM is strict with the social interaction, then you'll want an Actioneer suit as well (basically a business suit made out of disguised kevlar). Otherwise, armor is a non-choice until this edition's Canon Companion equivalent comes out. It's a flaw that's been with Shadowrun since day 1 - there are a LOT of rules to cover, so a lot of stuff that probably should be core rules get shoved off to supplemental books. And the armor thing's been a problem too.</blockquote>
