Mathematicly, I think its equal. I'm assuming that you get equal protection per gold you spend. But if you read the wiki page about how defense is calculated, there is no depreciation of armor/magic resistance as it gets higher.

I beleive the way its explained; for every 100 armor, it doubles (or something) your effective hp against mele attacks. So if you had 100 life, and 0 armor, it would take 100 damage to kill you. if you had 100 life and 100 armor, it would take 200 damage to kill you.

Keep in mind that building resistances has disadvantages against True Damage and other wierd effects.
