I don't really like the Jedi Knight robe or Master because they look to bulky (X-Box, so I don't know what the PC version looks like). I prefer the Dark Jedi robes, even when I'm LS. In reply to your question, the robes are the best choice to wear. I detest the armour because it doesn't have that Jedi / Sith Feel . I mean, excluding Malak's armour from KOTOR 1, the other types of armour are just terrible looking. And yes, I prefer appearance to defence.
