One of the things in my own universe is that Hutts developed better power armor to counter jedi in battle.

In what way, so they would be more resistant to force powers, or to counter lightsaber combat?

In the sense of Iron Man vs. Obi-Wan.

Powered Armor gives the wearer advantages in strength, firepower and durability. Jedi get advantages in telekinesis, speed, jumping and their danger sense.

In my SWU the Hutts and Republic have had a tenuous peace for millenia. When they did battle it wasn't with mile long ships. The largest cruisers were 350-500 meters. Star Destroyers weren't created until the clone wars. Hutts needed an advantage on the ground to counter the Jedi. Power armor was that advantage.

So the latter. Mostly to counter physically enhanced combat, not just force power use on the hutts.
