When I posted my comment I didn't realize that the Shadow Set has similar physical protection as the black leather set. I guess because I had already upgraded the black leather set when I found the shadow set. So the Shadow set does seem to be slightly better.

However, you need to go through Blighttown before you can get to the places you mentioned that have twinkling titatanite. And large titanite shards can be farmed before blighttown so you can at least upgrade the black leather set more.

With all that in mind I still haven't decided what to upgrade before going back into Blighttown. I have the poisonbite ring, but that doesn't protect against toxic and also takes up a ring slot. I also take quite a bit of physical damage from some of the enemies in Blighttown. Plus, there's fire damage from various enemies in Blighttown, but I'm not sure I've picked up any sets that are particularly fire resistant.
