What are the differences between ADAPTIVE NANO PLATING, and ENERGIZED ADAPTIVE NANO MEMBRANE. I know that the resistances are higher on the energized but do they offer anything else?

There are three differences:
- the EANM provides significantly better resists
- the EANM requires CPU where the ANP does not
- the EANM requires Hull Upgrades 5, the ANP requires Hull Upgrades 4 (for Tech 2)
Essentially, given that Hull Upgrades 5 is something that you will train early on, you will probably never fit an ANP over an EANM unless fitting is really tight.

What about bonuses from the armour resist skills(Thermal Compensation, etc.)? I know EANMs benefit from this skill, what about ANPs? (I could just check efit, but I’m giving someone else the chance to answer my question first.)

As I understand it, armour compensation skills apply to ANP, EANM, armour membranes and offline hardeners equally.
