Dragon armor can be improved to the greatest rating, and daedric weapons can be improved to the greatest damage output. If you want the best light armor, you can't have both unless you get all of the perks. I would go with the light armor and just improve glass weapons as much as you can, the difference isn't drastic and if you are a good assassin you won't need the best weapons to take down your opponents because you can get 30x damage multiplier on sneak attacks. Then again, you don't really need armor at all with assassin characters, you never really get hit, I didn't even wear armor most of the time and I play on master. I never leveled smithing up with my assassin, it's fairly unnecessary. Then again, the

is the most aesthetically pleasing assassin armor in my opinion, and it is heavy armor, so you may as well just level heavy armor up and go for that because it looks as good as any light armor, has a muffle effect that makes it quiet, and then you can just put perks into one side of the tree.
