Dragon Armor Vs. Daedric and Glass
Of all the heavy armors, Daedric armor still beats out dragon armors, despite needing a higher skill to make the dragon armors. When freshly crafted at 100 skill and no enhancements, Daedric armor starts at a higher base armor value for all pieces. One reason that many may choose Dragon over Daedric is the availability of materials. Ebony can be extremely difficult to find, and is very costly per ingot. There are very few spawn points for Ebony, not to mention that the Daedric pieces all require a Daedric heart, which itself is extremely rare. When bought, a heart costs about 900 gold a piece. Dragon bits however, are free and you'll probably wind up getting a good stock of them just wandering around the wilderness. A single dragon usually provides enough stock for a single piece of armor.

As far as light armors are concerned, the light versions of the dragonscale armors start at a higher base armor than glass, meaning that it is the best available light armor. The same principles apply for materials: crafting a suit of glass armor can be tedious compared to collecting dragon bits. Light versions use iron ingots instead of bone, which are cheap and can be found just about anywhere.

Weapons
There are no dragon weapons that can be crafted.
