Crafting VS drops
dropped items are of bit different level (in between crafted items tiers) so in terms of “better” both are good when you look at stats@level. As far as looks are considered I wouldn’t bother till you reach lvl 74+. You will change gear so quickly.
Besides it is a common opinion that crafted (standard) armors look bad.

While leveling, you out level your armor so fast that the stats hardly matter. I just bought green armor every 10 levels off the TP and didn’t worry about the stats on it. I didn’t bother about the runes on them. I usually just put gems that I had collected in the slots. It wasn’t till I got to level 80 that I researched the stats and looked into which set was best.
