What type of armour do you mostly use and why? I personally use diamond armour but i'm debating switching to iron because i have so much iron that i dont know what to do with
I don't really like diamond armor most of the time because it's too catastrophic to lose it, and iron works pretty dang well anyway. The exception is SSP Hardcore, where "losing items" is the least of your worries if you die.

I always wear iron until I get fully enchanted diamond, but also, I'd reccomend mining minimal diamonds until you have an enchanted pickaxe of atleast Fortune I
I mainly prefer iron up until i make it to diamond, iron armour is actually a very efficient source of material, its really good as it is very common so easy to find and very efficient. Diamonds for some people are hard to find so using iron, can be a good source of temporary armour.
Diamond the moment I have more than 48 diamonds, meaning I will have 24 left after my armor, enough for 8 picks. I've found that in 1.3 Fortune III is so easy to get it's ridiculous.
But enchanting really makes the game too easy. Might as well be playing peaceful once you have a full set of enchanted diamond armor plus diamond sword. I'm considering moving back to iron armor and leave diamonds for only tools. Or maybe limit myself to NPC enchants (max level 19).
I find that the efficiency diamond tools give makes a bigger difference over iron tools than diamond armor does over iron armor.
Unless I'm on a pvp server, I use iron armor, because it provides plenty of protection against mobs, and is so much easier to find than diamonds. For a pvp server, I need that small extra protection that diamond armor gives, so I'll usually use diamond armor if I can afford it.
If your in Normal Mode, then you should use iron, because nothing can kill you in just one hit, so the only problem would be if your facing like 12 creepers at once.
