Subject: What are best weapons for killing armor for Dark Eldar upgrades?
AP is actually better if it's low as an AP of for example 3 means that you are ignoring an armor save of 3+ and everything beyond. So you should look for Blasters and Dark Lances to deny Armor Saves.

Usually a higher strength, means lower AP value. You want the AP value to be equal to or less than your opponents armor save. Concurrently you want the Strength of a weapon to be higher so as to be more likely to wound against the opponents toughness. Really it is all right there in your rule book, not sure of the page number as I don't have the current edition but this is the way things have worked for many years at least since 3rd. Edition, it is one of the core mechanics that will hopefully never change.
Fortunately the DE codex has a plethora of AP 1-3 weapons. Best thing to do is familiarize yourself with it.
