Usually everyone likes barrows armor for the specials they give. The most common ones are Verac, for the prayer bonus and the defence-defying strikes (good against the Kalphite queen), and Guthan, which actually heals you when you make a hit.
Torag, though, is very tough when it comes to defence. However, all its special does is drains run energy, which only really makes it useful in the Fight Pit. It's not as expensive as the others, but I don't find it to be quite as useful.
Remember, you also have to pay for its up keeping. If Torags didn't have that, it would be a very popular armor.
Yeah, that's the only downside to barrows. I just recently got rid of all my barrows (full torags no hammers, full ahrims no staff, and full karils no x-bow) because they were getting too pricey with repairs.
Also, personally I hate all the barrows special effects besides Guthans, Dharoks, and Veracs.
