All of them. Consider replacing the bracers with an armored kilt, and the ring of shields with a buckler. No armor check, or spell failure, as long as you aren't a monk it's a cheaper way to go.
All of them
Armor bonus - Bracers of Armor
Shield bonus - Ring of Force Shield
Natural armor bonus - amulet of natural armor
deflection bonus - ring of protection
they are all different bonuses
Do note that the bracers of armor won't stack with normal armor (you'll just get the better bonus.)

And by normal armor you mean my mithral shirt?
If you're wearing a mithral shirt, then you likely aren't going to get the bracers bonus, unless they're of a higher bonus than the mithral shirt. But then, you won't get the mithral shirt. You only get one of the two, the rest stack with either.

This. Also, iirc, a Ring of Force Shield is only ever a +2 shield AC bonus, where a Buckler can be enchanted up to being a +6 shield bonus, and if it's mithral, it weighs almost nothing and has no ASF.
Also, Silken Ceremonial Armor > Armored Kilt, because it's classier.
MrJello, do yourself a favor and look up bonus types, and stacking rules, then familiarize yourself with what what bonus type each AC source is.

Back in the day, you could do a chain shirt (4), dastana (1), cha har-aina (1), and buckler (1); and then enchant them all at +5 each for 27 armor bonus. Then you add your dex, ring of protection, and natural armor bonuses and you would have a light tank that could cast with 5% spell failure (if the chain shirt is mithril). It was beastly to be sure.

Can you enchant the Ceremonial Armor?
Yes, and the kilt, and the buckler.
Didn't know you we're TWFing. Why don't you tell us about your character.
In that case, keep the ring of shields, don't think tw defense will help, but you can use the chain shirt, ring of protect, ring of shield, nat armor, and armored kilt.

For maximum helpful advice, I suggest telling us the intended build.
Well i have a ranged ranger and I might make a TWF soon.
Ya I haven't played long enough to know what good ac is at higher levels or if i should focus on it so much as a twf.
But all this information is very helpful whether I use it soon or in a year. :)

There is no such thing as Silken Ceremonial Armor! There is only War Pajamas!
Amulet of Natural Armor
Armor, any
Dexterity score, high
Dodge
Dusty Rose Prism Ioun Stone or Cape of Bravado
Improved Natural Armor (unlocked via Ironhide feat if human or dwarf)
Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier
Ring of Protection
Shield, any
This is how you make a tank, by spreading out your AC bonuses amongst as many cheap items as possible.
