Which item is more useful:
1. Damage reduction +5 soak 5
2. Damage reduction +3 soak 10
Please explain your reasoning!!
Thanks.

It depends a bit on the enemies you are facing but i would surely go for the Damage reduction +3 soak 10, In the vanila game and SoU there are very few enemies with +3 weapons or greater, so you should go for the biggest soak i would say. And by the time your enemies get +3 or +4 weapons, which would of course make te first option better, You will be so powerful yourself that those 5 damage reduction is not very significant anymore, though it might just be the difference between victory and painful death 
In short, low level enemies (untill you reach lvl 18 ) the second option,
on the high leves levels the first option
but i think that on the higher level you will have somewhat more useful items to put into your slots  |

This was kind of my thinking ... although another level of Dwarven defender will grant (I believe) 6 absorbtion anyway, at which point I might as well go with the second option ... until I find a better cloak. BTW this is in the Aeilund Trilogy ... not sure what penetrating power the beasties have ... but time will tell.
Thanks for the feed back!!
