I hope this post will help others too not only me. I hope for serious responses.
Thank you.

most BD's i've seen use tallum

[EvaSaint]

maj - better stun resist (bd has low resistance to stun, i wouldnt go with maj because it favours classes with much higher con than a BD - such as a dwarf or human fighter)

tal - better damage, gives attack speed and some resistances
id go with that

I would say, as often, it depends on your playstyle.

Majestic, as said, will give you some more stun resist, but being already low con (and the set gives you -2 con anyway), you ll still get stunned a lot dont worry :p
It s also better Pdef, and +4% p atck, which is always a nice plus. Most BDs i know that use majestic, often are used as "tanks" or main assits, and use it in combination with Health Duals or the Sgrade duals (which give + HP and + CP).

Tallum heavy will give you slightly less pdef, but the +8% attack speed bonus is very nice for a BD. Considering you ll have dance of Fury almost always with you (and hopefully haste2 buff/pots), using tallum with haste duals, your dps can be *very* nice, making of you some kind of secondary DD, also helping dance faster/faster skill refresh.
Also the weighth bonus might seem like a detail, but with the low con you have you ll be very happy to be able to carry more shots and supplys thanks to it.

Maj heavy looks horrible. The rest has already been said about both.

very nice post!

Your playstyle dictates your gear. Are you the BD in a melee party who is a DD in the party? If so Tallum would be for you. Are you the BD in a mage party who basically just dances and picks up loot? If so, Majestic. Some BD's solo alot or duo/trio in which case Tallum would be your best bet. If you level in archer parties, it depends. Do you and the sws go hit your own mob? If so, Tallum. Or do you and the sws just sing/dance/pick up loot in which case, again, Maj Hvy.

use plated leather for pve, higher dps then any a grade.

If you are not the guy getting hit. Then again... tallum will still have higher dps. +2 str and +8% attack speed. That will be higher dps than just +4 str. Unless you mean damage per swing rather than damage per second.

also plated leather would give you higher levelling efficiency (doing more damage with each hit)

ONLY if you are not the guy getting hit. If you have to use hp pots to make up for your lack of pdef then what is the diff between that and using more pots?

[Vampir2]

Tallum has higher DPS as Plated, well at least according to L2calc and with buffs.
I went Tallum due to a bit higher DPS and weight increase. Though I play mostly support (low chances of getting stunned).
For PVP Majestic is a lot better. More P.Def and Stun resistance.
