We have concluded that Dragon is better. One can skip taking Heavy Armor Smithing perks after Dwarven, (for crossbows), and use them elsewhere. As the actual armor cap is less than 600, Daedric is no better than Dragonscale. With enchanted smithing apparel and fortify smithing potions, (one can make a potion that boosts smithing 147% and four pieces of enchanted apparel with 29% each), one can exceed the cap with many types of armor.
