Mid to late fourteenth century English / French transitional armour is my absolute favorite.

The effigy of Sir Philip de Peletoot, dated to approximately 1361, is a good example.  (Plus he’s got a really cool surname!)

Ditto. By far my all-time favorite.

Recently, I've also grown fond of the transitional stuff seen around the turn of the 13th/14th centuries—when they were starting to experiment with more plate armor. I find the evolution of it fascinating.
