You would need a lot of data points to figure this out. Perhaps something like 100 combine results could get you statistically significant results for comparison? 2.5M gold too hehe.
I think its simpler than you are making it.
Each armor + armor has 2? possible resulting combinations. The end result I believe is calculated by which is stronger.
For instance I put dragon flame+ and sea foam no+ and got steam wizards robes.

Following this logic,
Seafoam+ and Dragon flame would be hydra hunter
It just makes sense that way.
