With a high heavy armor skill and smithing dragon and deadric with both 'max' out your armor rating. So really they are equal late game... which is when you would get them.
Also deadric has always been the best. Honestly I think deadric is 'to easy' to make. Dragon armor: take dragon bones, add steal and leather straps to fit bone pieces together= done.
Deadric: work with ebony, already the hardest metal to work with, use deadra blood from a deadra heart instead of water for cooling, throw in some magic, and somehow shape this hardest, strongest, heaviest of metals into a sharp edge all at the same time. Personally I think the atronach forge should be the only way to make deadric armor since it is magical in nature.
