This is also pretty helpful, from the STO forums.

For the test I used a Fed Engineer char flying an Assault Cruiser that had no armour loaded on it. I repeatedly moved skill points between the above two skills, dumping any spare points into "Starship Sensors" as I figured that skill should not affect damage resist.
Results as follows:
0-3 points to spend
Threat Control=0 Hull Plating=0 =2%
Threat Control=3 Hull Plating=0 =6.9%
Threat Control=0 Hull Plating=3 =9.2%
6 points to spend
Threat Control=6 Hull Plating=0 =9.4%
Threat Control=0 Hull Plating=6 =12.7%
Threat Control=3 Hull Plating=3 =13.4%
9 points to spend
Threat Control=9 Hull Plating=0 =10.6%
Threat Control=0 Hull Plating=9 =14.4%
Threat Control=6 Hull Plating=3 =15.6%
Threat Control=3 Hull Plating=6 =16.6%
12 points to spend
Threat Control=9 Hull Plating=3 =16.6%
Threat Control=3 Hull Plating=9 =18.1%
Threat Control=6 Hull Plating=6 =18.6%
As can be seen, if you have 3 or less points to spend, put them in Hull Plating, as it gives you the highest damage resist. However, if you have more than 3 points to spend, it becomes more useful to split your points between both skills, ensuring you always have Hull Plating equal to or greater than Threat Control.
