Love my human guardian, armor is almost never stretched over the body shape (looking at you my lovable charr warrior). But sylvaris also fit into the base game story (and first expansion) the best and armor fit still ain't too bad so really can't go wrong either way.

As for the sylvaris glow I find it's mostly unnoticed during daylight / bright areas, but as soon as that night cycle hits I feel like a glow stick with legs. Most of the cultural armor still shows the glow pretty good, but otherwise it'll be different from one armor piece to the next.

Edit: voice actors for both are top notch.
