at what ranks should i switch from an arm worn small shield to medium to large?
100 ranks, but only for invasions/spars with rangers or other folks that cant disarm you, fact is you should never not have an arm worn shield on if you're trying to block due to disarms, and you should probably not bother with anything but armworn for training if you just want to train more shield.
However you CAN use a tower shield any time if it suits you, never let whats best statisticly replace what you enjoy doing.

My advice would be to go with an armworn aegis of granite shield. My sense is that the shield skill boost and lower hidrance penalty gives better results than the extra max protection of all readily available tower shields.
However, I used a tower shield for many hundreds of ranks- they are quite viable for warrior mages. I don't know at exactly what ranks you begin getting the maximum listed protection for large shields, but my gut tells me somewhere in the mid-100s. But I am not sure.
