Lower level Shadowknight Armor...

[This]

Hey everyone, is there a link/site that shows me the best SK armor I can get for my level?  I just dinged my SK 20 and want to twink this alt out with some gold from my higher level.  Is the crafted armor better than the quested stuff? Thanks..

Crafted is generally going to be better than the armor quest stuff. The rare crafted is even better, but you can't wear it till 22.

<p>The armor you earn from the level 20+ Shadowknight armor quests is <i>much</i> better than Handcrafted T3 armor (Carbonite) but not as good as Mastercrafted (Steel) T3 armor plus it is BLACK (well, dark grey anyway) and looks better on a SK. You can solo your armor quests in your low 20's but will probably need a group for the last piece, the breastplate, since the target mob is 25^^^. The Freeport-side armor quests are easier than the Qeynos side; which is the reverse of the teen's armor quests.</p><p>Depending on your server, you should expect paying between 3pp to 5pp for a full set of Steel armor if you buy it off the broker. It will be cheaper, of course, if you can supply the Steel Clusters and deal with an armorsmith directly. I strongly recommend the armor quests -- even if you have the cash -- because you will earn good AP XP for completing them.</p>

Just to reverb what Zarb said, AQ armor is MUCH better than t3 handcrafted, and only slightly worse than master crafted (anyone else see a problem there?) and is even better (for the most part) than t4 handcrafted. I say, only resort to handcrafted if you absolutely HAVE to.
