So, TL;DR:

Plate is good vs slashing/piercing, bad vs impact.

Chain is good vs slashing and okay vs impact, but may fail vs piercing.

Leather is good against impact... and okay against slashing attacks, but bad vs piercing.

Impact armor is padding. Piercing armor is plate. Slashing armor is pretty much any armor, but chain or plate were best.
