And finally, which Haki exactly would be super effective Vs Buggy? Armament or Observation? (King's Haki is a given since Buggy is fairly weak willed)
It may look and function similar to a logia, but the biggest distinction is this.
Logia defensive mechanism is, as stated by Oda, to prevent the hits from landing on the user's real body.
Haki enables the fighter to bypass this and land their hit on the opponent.

Whereas, this is not the case with Buggy.
Regardless of who is attacking, the hits always land on Buggy's body regardless.
The ability here is that there's no impediment to his bodily functions from being cut.

So to simplify:
Logia = prevents real body from being cut
Bara Bara = can be cut, but prevents damage from the cut.

and extra:
Phoenix = can be cut, but restores damage from the cut.

That's a significant difference.
