I'm relatively sure that whether or not the damage is cut/pierce/blunt also factors in. Harlaus made a spreadsheet using all of the math not so long ago that I don't happen to have a link to. Furthermore, weapons that have bonus against shields ignore resistance altogether (Nords sure do like those axes - in fact, even Jotne and Ward of Ragnar swords are considered axes and have bonus against shields!) so it tends to be more useful to have shields with high hitpoints as opposed to high resistance.
The Aegis has significantly better stats because it is for the hero shielding classes (Pavise and Royal Guard). The other three shields are for all Commandos.
