The main reason for integral armor divisors is because other numbers are annoying. However, there's some argument for 200% * log(divisor); this works out to the following prices for AD:
AD(2): 60% (was 50%)
AD(3): 95% (was 100%)
AD(4): 120%
AD(5): 140% (was 150%)
AD(6): 155%
AD(10): 200%
Then hardened becomes something like 'Hardened xN: ignores armor divisors up to N, multiplies effective DR by N for armor divisors exceeding N', and is priced at 80% * log(N).
