Ugh, why are you comparing the very first level of regenerators against the top tech in shields???

I agree that the low end regenerators seem weak, but after a few levels they are quite decent.
Also note that the regenerators are half the size of a shield generator, so double their value.

You can get 375 phased shields, or 50 recharge per turn in 40 KT of space. If you expect to survive 7 turns after being hit, the regenerator will be worth more to you.

PS: Also note that shield regenerators of any level are a great defense against boarding parties.
