Question Balancing AC and HP (For Paladins/ShadowKnights)

This thread assumes AC and HP are all that should matter in choosing items as a Pally or SK (besides resists). Would like to hear the input of people who have tanked alot.

My main questions are:

1 - How "good" or "worthwhile" are returns on AC in game?
2 - How do you make decisions about AC vs HP in gear?
3 - Is Blood Ember/Deepwater gear always going to be BiS for the most part due to the high AC?

Regarding question #2.. It would be great if anyone can be specific as possible. For example, say you have an Mithril Breastplate (+30 HP but only 17 AC) and a 22 AC chest with no HP.. Which one would you use and why?
