Both seem to have their uses, in the early game I generally end up ramming my shields into the enemies shields to take them down almost instantly, it adds a risk of taking hull damage, but I find it kinda fun ramming into the enemy and then firing a torpedo at point blank range, probably not a viable strat later in the game so might as well do it while you can still get away with it.

But either way different weapons types have an easier time going through shields then armor and vis versa so it just depends on what your fighting as to which is best, but early game shields seem more useful since most low level enemies weapons are the type that shields are good against. It's probably mostly shields early game, but mostly armor late game is what I am thinking will be best, both for game mechanics and for my play style.

For those hoping/waiting for more Let's Plays: Arumba (https://youtu.be/aLcedni9uFE?t=1m55s) has also said that he'll make a series on it (but didn't specify a time). There might be a lot of overlap with quil18's audience though, but I'm nevertheless very much looking forward to it.

Also, Quil18's run seems to be concluded now with the 4th episode now, which is kinda sad...

Yeah Quil18 said that he was only going to do a handful of episodes (Basically an extended let's look at rather then a let's play) probably because of the amount of work doing Cities Skyline and Pillars of Eternity already are.  But yeah I also found out about the game through him, funnily enough I only started watching a bit of his content recently. Reason I started watching Quil18 was when NL did a Let's Look at Cities Skyline, his video made me want to look a bit further into the game to see if it was the Sim City I have been lacking for a very long time or not so ended up finding Quil from Cities Skyline which I then ended up buying after watching about 2 or 3 of Quil's videos (NL made the game look so so, worth looking into, Quil with a higher skill made the game sale for me), Pillars of Eternity I ended up getting after watching a random video on it (not any of my normal game coverage people nor one that I will end up watching more of the channel of), then I saw this mixed in with Quils Pillars videos, and it was like "hey that's SPAZ but a bit different, what's the price point? ok yeah I'll pick that up I liked SPAZ enough to where $15 for a similar game is worth the purchase, thats just not eating out one-two days".

The short answer is Quill18, the long answer is WoW videos way back when.  At the time I didn't really watch any youtube because its 99% garbage and was hard to find good content, but watching TB and Yogscast WoW videos back when I still played got me interested in their channels when they switched directions, since then have started watching JesseCox, Nerdcubed, Emmablackberry, JimSterling, GMM, Lindsey Stirling, Stuart Ashen, Northernlion, and just recently Quil18. So while learning of Quill18 was from watching NLs Cities Skyline video and then searching for more skilled game play to see if it was a game that I wanted, the reason I started watching NL was from TBs Charity water Stream where he covered many games including The Binding of Isaac.

So long answer summarized I found this game from watching Quil18 due to my interest in Cities Skylines which I found due to my interest in The Binding of Isaac which I found through my interest in Indie PC gaming which I found watching TBs WTF is series which I found from my interest in WoW which I started playing when a roommate was playing it in college. In fact most everything I find for entertainment now a days including TV shows like Doctor Who and movies like The Lego Movie (both because of Nerdcubed) all come back through TB.
