I believe it's lighter than full plate and I really HATE putting metal armor on Druids, since they're supposed to be forbidden from wearing one and makes them lose their spells.
Akhegh is made from ankhegh carapace.
Not really sure about ADnD 2E but I think it's a similar if not the same case as 3E.
Unless I've got real carrying capacity issues (say, if my only frontliners are Ajantis, Khalid and Jaheira) I'll usually give full plates to everyone. That said, since the third full plate comes pretty late in the game and the magical full plate too, I often keep an ankheg shell-clad Jaheira for most of the game anyway.

Everyone else, whatever gives you the best AC is what you wear.
