Q: Do you only put 1 shield generator on your ships?
Of course not!
Plus, you can fit 4 armor components in the space of 1 shield generator, and 10-20 armor if you use it exclusively. 400-800 hitpoints isn't anything to scoff at.
Now see how effective it is 
That's true...but, assuming some sort of success in the battle (with, say, 3 or 4 high-end phased shield generators), if your shields held off the shots, it needs no repair. On the other hand, it's not much fun repairing 12 or 16 armor components. Nor fast.
