Using evasion or armor for defence

Using evasion or armor for defence - Silver Knight Helmet

How do evasion and armor (and perhaps energy shield) interact with each other when calculating eHP for a character?

Ignoring the synergy of focusing on one stat in the skill tree, is it better to have an even mix of evasion & armor or a high value in one of them? What are the factors in choosing either of them for a ranged character?
