Try the Armor of the Shadow Lord.
Increases your Sneak Attack, tells you how to sneak (perhaps provides Aid Another?), has a nice vibe for your character, and plus you won't lose out on any of your Dexterity Bonus.
Bonus points that you simply bump it up to a +5 armor.

Bracers of Armor, Armor of the Shadow Lord, Catskin Leather, any Haramaki, or any Silken Ceremonial armor will allow you to use your full dex bonus to AC.
That said, the highest possible AC would actually come from a 20th level caster using the Force Ward word of power: +11, no max Dex.
For a vampire ninja you might want to go with something like; +5 Deathless Delving Fire Resistance Silken Ceremonial armor.

I'm making a concept character, and I can't decide on his armor.
Lvl 20 fetchling vampire ninja... 30 Dex, 30 str
Well that depends... Are you looking for just AC or are you looking for a item that uses the magic slot for armor?
Bracers of armor +8.
If he doesn't mind using up his bracer slot, then it's not bad. He gives up things like Bracers of Falcon's Aim, Swallowtail Bracers, Bracers of Archery (Greater) and Ioun Spite Bracers while having an unused armor slot.
Try the Armor of the Shadow Lord.
Not bad if intelligent items are possible. Catskin Leather is a good stand-in for a more mundane option and the plain old haramaki offers total customization in armor enchants [it may be a 'better'].
Thinking out of the box, there is the Robes of Xin-Shalast!
EDIT: the BEST armor might be to make the level 20 ninja a ninja 19/Scales Fist Monk 1 so it's Cha is it's 'armor'. ;)

Not to mention, he could be wearing Monk's Robes (so he counts as 5th level for Unarmed Strike Damage and AC), and he takes the Unarmed Combat Mastery (Master Ninja Trick), so he adds his Ninja level - 4 as his Monk level for unarmed damage.
In other words, he could deal damage as a 20th level Monk while only technically being 1st level.
Pretty cool, huh?

A level in Monk so you can also add your Wis Mod to your AC.
A level Arcanist or something so you can Use a Wand of Mage Armor.Amulet of Natural Armor

Normally it is better to make your character undetectable by blindsense, blindsight, tremorsense, lifesense, thought sense, and scent as much as possible rather than stacking stealth. Things already can't beat that result anyway but the other methods of detection will automatically know your presence.
