Rune hands down for Non-members. For members, its either barrows or 3rd age melee set. This costs alot, but has amazing bonuses. It has +409 slash bonus + 395 stab bonus and +381 crush bonus.
Adamant Platebody
It's a tier 5 platebody in RuneScape, with bonuses similiar to a Rune platebody. It is only available while Dungeoneering.
There might be a dragon platebody in runescape later , but it never came out yet so nobody knows. --------------------------- there now is a dragon platebody in runescape but it costs loads it looks very stylish and is great armour. ~Ghrulz
rune chainmail overall, but the adamant platebody has better stab defence.

You get exactly 187.5 xp per steel platebody in runescape which is probably the best way to raise smithing cost wise
The Demons that are known to drop Dragon Platebody Parts.
the best F2P armor is Rune (platebody, full helm and plate legs), Saradomin, Guthix, or Zammorak. all of these give the same boosts
Monsters don't drop the actual platebody, but they drop pieces: One piece that is needed to make the platebody is received through the reward of the While Guthix Sleeps quest. The others are dropped by Tormented demons. You do not have to start/finish the quest to wear the platebody.
the best world to sell ANY bodyplate is a full world most likely world 1 no further coments XD
Bandos, considering it's high defense level along with Strength bonus, it is even considered better than Dragon Platebody.
Obviously, that happened years ago.. GUTHAN'S PLATEBODY. Noob
