240 armor, I'll assume you have a Rank 5 Steel Fiber (150 base * 1.6 = 240). At this rank you take ~29% of incoming damage.

Valkry would have 320 armor with the same mod and she would take ~24% of incoming damage.

Both Frames cap at 300 health (no mods) at lvl 30. With armor, Frost has 1020 effective HP, Valkyr has 1260. If we just tack shields onto the health totals (ignoring the fact they regenerate) we get Frost at 1470 and Valkyr at 1410.

Not considering skills or other mods, I would say Frost is a more reliable frame regarding defensive stats. He has a comprable (better) effective health pool and can effectively use his shields so that his health is less likely to takes hits.
