If you've levelled up your heavy armour skill to a high enough level, you can get a perl in which your heavy armour weighs nothing, which is amazing, because you can be really stealthy, and still have a lot of protection if you're caught.
Also, I prefer ebony armour yo daedric as ebony armour can be looted from chest whereas daedric you have to smith. Also, ebony armour has the ebony mail which is amazing.
Smithing is quite a useful skill, and not hard to level at all. Getting the required hearts can be difficult, but it's just a case of putting in enough effort in finding them.
You don't get deadric hearts from the Deadric princes/princesses, you get them from killing dremora's. Just find a wizard that summons them, kill the dremora first, rinse repeat.
Yes, I know that.
My main source of daedric hearts is the mountain where the temple to mehrune dagon is. There are 2 dremora outside the temple and another 2 inside and they respawn often
