It's not a yes/no answer. If the enemy team doesn't have much magic damage, focus on armor. If they have more magic damage and less physical, focus on magic resist.

I almost always start with a core of Sunfire and Aegis. After that I decide on Thornmail, Randuins, or Banshees based on who's on the enemy team and how fed certain individuals are getting.

Even with DBC it's surprising how quickly a Rammus can melt under a fed Brand or Anivia in mid game. You're useless as a tank if you die before the fight even starts.
