Unless you're really starved on Justice Points, do get the appropriate armor class heirlooms. It doesn't matter much below level 50, but above that,
armor specializations come into play, and (this is just my opinion) this cancels out the stat superiority of heirlooms, leaving only the XP bonus.
Cloth heirlooms are for mages, warlocks and priests
Leather heirlooms are for rogues, druids and monks
Mail heirlooms are for shamans and hunters. For these classes, the items scale down to Leather below level 40
Plate heirlooms are for warriors, paladins and death knights. For these classes, the items scale down to Mail below level 40
For anything but Cloth, pick the version with the stats (Intellect, Agility or Strength) appropriate for the spec you want to play.
