Overall there is no set answer.
Armor class - NWNWiki, the Neverwinter Nights wiki
IMO though, a high dexterity character will often have a higher AC with various equipment and one single high Dexterity modifying equipment.
The thing is - usually you won't have a high dexterity character until late in a game, whereas you can have a good AC level fairly early in the game via armor.
Also a high dexterity character can also use shields (if they have access to a particular shield)
So typical net response:
Armored characters early to mid through the game have higher AC's.
High Dexterity Characters *can* surpass them toward the end of the game.
