The granite armor looks cool, but the rest are worse then the poo-armor of old.

I would have to agree. Those armors sans granite are very lackluster and border on the fugly.

I prefer the others to granite.  I don't like powers that completely obscur the character.  Why have such an amazing character customization process only to make all characters of a given type look alike in the end?

I like the new stuff, but the characters they're on in those pictures are ugly.  Given a character who looks more appropriate, I think they look much better.

Brimstone and Rock armor look pretty good.

The crystal and mineral ones just dont look like ARMOR, which is part of their problem.

Rooted also looks kind of gimpy.

What I like most about the new effects is that they are more obviously designed to be stacked and run perma.

Old defence effects (all lines) clearly did not have this in mind, which is why they were all too overbearing, bright, garish.

Crystal and Mineral might not look like armour alone - but they would never be used alone in a situation where real tanking is required, they are really upgrades rather than alternative armours.

Also I second what Lava said about the characters used as examples above.

Actually, it would be possible to tank the psychic clockwork with just minerals, or AntiMatter's Particle Mechs (what they're like is not important) with just crystal armor, but these are the very rare exceptions to the rule.
