Basically I'm doing a respec to max out some int + mem skills. I mostly got the others down but as far as Armor tanking goes I'm a bit clueless of what I need.

Basically the fit I'm using will have the following armor tanking modules:
Energized Adaptive Nano Membranes x2
1x Medium Armor Repairer
1x Armor Explosive Hardener
Trimark Armor Pump II


What skills would be benefitial to train for this fit? Should I be maxing all of the armor compensation skills or leave them be? I want it "done right" since I will be respeccing again once I'm done with the int+mem skills so I would basically appriciate if anyone could make up a short list of what skills to max out before speccing back so I don't forget anything.

The compensation skills work beautifully with the EANM.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

So...
Hull Upgrades 5, Mechanic 5, Repair systems 5, Armor rigging 4 (for T2 rig) and armor comp skills to 4.

Getting the armor rigging skill to level 4 also helps on anything that uses speed are part of its tank, like logistics with AB or armor hac gangs. i would say this is the better part of level 4 more so than getting t2 rigs :D

But thats just me.

may i ask why trimark armor pumps with active tank? it is needed sometimes when you expect high alpha (9/10 and 10/10 plexes) but normally i would suggest nanobot accelerator and/or aux nano pump

Yeah, I said wrong. It's nano pumps. Skills are the same though
