The best type of armor during a zombie apocalypse will be: bullet resistant kevlar and SAPI plates.
Because if your first worry is getting bitten by zombies, then you're doing it wrong. The most dangerous threat to your life during a zombie apocalyose won't be from the zombies themselves, but rather a combination of dehydration, starvation, disease and other humans, armed with firearms and out to kill you and take your supplies from you.
However, if I were to use some sort of armor to specifically protect me from zombie bites, then I'd go with mail. Specifically the type of mail that divers use to protect themselves against shark bites.
Many species of shark has significantly more biting strength than a walking, human corpse would have. So if it works against sharks, it'll definitely work against zombies.
You could also make an armour out of thick, nitrile rubber (spare car or tractor tires maybe?) as they sometimes give these to bears and wolves in zoos as biting toys, and they have a really hard time trying to chew through it.
