Ship Builds & Load Outs Hull tanking

So coming from EvE, they had 3 main types of tanking: Shield, Armor, Hull. They also had in space repairs for all 3. Maybe I'm not seeing it, but I can't find a armor/hull repair module anywhere, except paying a station to do it. So, unless I'm wrong (which is easily possible), why would anyone hull tank when its going to cost a ton of money, and shields are Free?

Please help me understand the pros and cons better!

If youre running a stealthy build for fighting then you need hull tanking for survivability, as the shields go down when you enter silent running

Other than that some ships like the fed ships have better hulls than shields so it usually ends up being more hardy when you buff out the armour compared to trying to strengthen the shields
 
2.4 is going to include repair limpet for hull repairs and synthesis for limpets.
Currently you have to pay for repairs, but most of the time hull repairs are negligible.
