Better to just go for a low tech solution (armored repair ship + armored ships) If you are really serious about "fixing" your system, and have 5 years to spare, research Stellar Manip (under astrophysics) way up. IMO, a quick armor & repair then shields & weapons would be better research.
Wormhole Manipulators (Stellar Manipulation) is one of the most important things to research quickly, in my opinion. They allow you to make quick pathways around your airspace and they allow you to 'fix' bad wormholes by destroying & recreating them. They also allow you to isolate entrypoints into your airspace....ie, constrict the avenues of approach for your enemies to a few, defensible avenues.
As for Black holes, I deal with them until I own the system(s) on the other side and then destroy them. They are good natural defenses early on in the game. Later, they are a hinderance to traffic.
