Well, mages cant wear armor, unless if they are Dual or Multi class.
The best Robe is the Robe of vecna(Bonus merchants),after that the robe of the Good(trademeet, the blacksmith),Neutral(must do Edwin/Edwina quest and Evil(drow city, the merchant near the entry) archmage.
If you have a Dual or multi class Mage, The Elven Chain mail (or its Drow variant), those are hard to find.

Mages have several spell to compensate for the fact that they cannot wear armour. Some of these are Ghost Armour, Spirit Armour, Iron Skin and Mirror Image. Also, you can use the bracers of defence, the best availible giving you an AC of 3. Then add rings, cloaks and so on.

I did the Edwin/Edwina quest and never found such a thing as the Robe of the Neutral Archmagi on the dead mage's body!

I could not confirm That about Edwin/Edwina. I also Read that you can find one in the mage that you free in the underdark by "freedom" spell, But I cant Confirm that either.

I was sadly the one that started the rumor about being able to find the robe of the neutral archmage on the body of the mage that hunts Edwin. I just recently tried to verify this and found out that in spite of wearing these robes he does not actually drop them. Just like Xzar who is wearing the robe of the evil archmage.

Guess that the developers wanted the enemy mages to look cooler while not dropping too powerful items too quickly. It would seem that the robe of the neutral archmage thus never was included in the game.
