if people were to bother and look at the actual stats of the melee barrows armor you would find that the following have the same stats: body- guthans platebody, torags platebody, dharoks platebody legs- veracs skirt, torags legs, dharoks legs helm- veracs helm, guthans helm so if we are speaking strictly in terms of defense stats, this thread has lost most of its meaning. i'm not going to go into detail on looks, practicality, etc.
