If you use the standard 1:1 HP:kT ratio for the internals, then use an armor ratio of 1.5:1 to 6:1 HP:kT for low to high tech armor. For shields you might want a range of 2:1 to 10:1 or something like that. Special armors you'd want to be close to shields in HP:kT performance, i.e. ablative armor might max out at 8:1. You could even make it equal to shields with the penalty that it needs to be repair when damaged.

If you are using a ratio of 0.5:1 HP:kT for internals, then divide by 2 the above suggestions. I wouldn't recommend dropping lower than that for internals.

Fyron's Adamant mod has a decent armor setup - although his values are higher than suggested since his mod treats armor as a viable alternative to shields. The Star Trek universe is shield dependent, hence the values I suggested.
