Aegis shield is a hero locked shield, so it is inherently better than all the commando shields, like the resilience. However, if you plan on having a Zweihander or Legionnaire alt, and don't want to invest in a 2nd good shield, then a Royal Shield or a Swadian Resilience would be best as you could use them on all your infantry characters rather than just Royal Guard, plus those shields are slightly cheaper. Note that Pavise Champion (Xbow hero) can also use Aegis shield.

yes i know all of that but I'm trying to ask which stat would i want more of, more hitpoints for the shield or more armor rating for the shield, thanks for ur response tho and i think i may plan on making a zweihander but idk yet

There's some kind of formula of how shield resistance effects damage done to hitpoints when a bot hits the shield, but can't remember what that was. I do know that aegis is better due to higher shield resistance, despite the lower hitpoints compared to the resilience. Harlaus has some sort of formula for this I believe.
