    There are two really good guides up top of this area. Read through them both carefully and you'll get a good idea. You could also ping Isowen as he/she is building a more balanced toon and has seen both sides fairly high.

    Attitude :P

    Seriously though, it's hard to answer you question with specifics: FAC is a specific build, while Support Cleric is just a general type.

    FAC means maxing MAG (1STR/9MAG every 2 levels), Arcane Armour, usually +HP soulgems, never leveling support skills (even once they have SP's to spare).

    Support Cleric just means your focus is healing and buffing spells.

    Either Attack or Support Clerics (yes, you can be an Attack Cleric without going FAC) can put points in VIT (I've heard anywhere from 0-2/level), and wear either Light or Arcane armour (some even go Heavy, though I wouldn't really recommend that). Support are probably more likely to go Light with more VIT, but there's no hard-and-fast rule.
