Even tho I put Graviton, as it is the most used shield, I prefer to use a shield that matches the environment that I will be PvPing in. It all depends on the Weapon Types the most common opponents I will be fighting use.

I use the Positron because it's usually the middle-class.
I rarely see people that use guns that are good against positron shields so usually I'm either being fully protected or just partially protected.

I prefer Positron type shields if im not sure what Ill face, mainly because they were the only Lvl 10 shield in Vanilla.

I guess the best way to figure it out is to find the most used gun perhaps.
Then u have an easy counter.
But then again there are Shield busting guns anyway

Graviton, because Outcasts have lore behind manipulating gravitons through micro-singularities
also because that seems to be the default for most ships when you buy them and I can't be arsed.

Depends on what guns that used by my enemy against me.
But, well.. it's sucks when your enemy had shieldbusters.
So, it doesn't really matter, tho.

Molecular, cause it sounds good, and I don't PvP much so I don't care about it...

Damage percentages for each shield type when the shield is hit by a specific weapon type: What the Wiki lists as 'more effective against' deals 75% damage, and the 'less effective against' weapon deals 110% damage. Pulse guns deal normal damage to all shield types, and the weapon types not listed deal 90% damage.
Graviton Shield Type
75% | Laser, Photon
90% | Tachyon, Neutron, Codenames
100% | Pulse
110% | Plasma, Particle
Molecular Shield Type
75% | Plasma, Particle
90% | Laser, Photon, Codenames
100% | Pulse
110% | Tachyon, Neutron
Positron Shield Type
75% | Tachyon, Neutron
90% | Plasma, Particle, Codenames
100% | Pulse
110% | Laser, Photon

Wow, I didn't know that it affects 25% of the damage taken, I might actually think what shield to use from now on.
