Heavy armor offers more protection but it weighs a lot and you are encumbered by it until you are master with heavy armor, which sucks because sometime you won't be able to carry a lot of loot. Light armor is the exact opposite (apart from the fact that you won't get encumbered by it once you reach an expert level. You don't need to be master at it, like in heavy armor's case) Another thing is that Heavy armor will make you slower and your spells less effective. If you're playing a stealth type of character, I'd suggest to go with Light Armor.
Speed is actually pretty important in this game imo, because when your character is slow you will find that exploring takes way too long and you will find yourself fast traveling all the time which kills some of the fun in the game.
