When I started this post, there was no table. I was just trying to get it from the community.

The table is not all that important, as there are other things to consider, like power, mass, heat, how fast a collapsed shield recovers...
A mix of different booster classes (0A and 0E) can also be useful to optimize the shield versus both mass and power draw.
I gathered the formulas from other posts to understand the mechanics and be better able to predict the results.
However I really find it more helpful to use coriolis.io, especially as it seems to give accurate results and as the maintainers are keeping the calculations up to date.
I put one shield generator type on the top utility slot, the other on the bottom and alt-click-drag either to the other utility slots while checking the results.
Observe the figures headed "ABSOLUTE", "EXPLOSIVE", "KINETIC" and "TERMAL". These include the boost.
Under "POWER AND COST" you can turn off all modules except the Shield Generator and the Shield Boosters to see the consumed power more clearly.

Here's an example of how to use it.
It's been assembled:

Coriolis EDCD Edition

A ship builder, outfitting and comparison tool for Elite Dangerous
coriolis.io coriolis.io
EXP:16.667, KIN:13.889, THR:9.865.
But it doesn't match the table.
We look at the table and do as in it and get the best result :

Coriolis EDCD Edition

A ship builder, outfitting and comparison tool for Elite Dangerous
coriolis.io coriolis.io
EXP: 13.301, KIN: 11.084, THR:10.496.

Are you saying loosing 3366hp exp and 2805hp kin to gain 631hp thr is the best result?

Yes.
Since I assume we don't know which weapon the enemy will shoot with, we assume 1/3 of each damage.
(33% exp, 33% kin, 33% thr)
And there is also absolute damage, which in fact could also be counted, but as you can see, it has not changed.

The most important thing about this table is what I think it is. The fact that in the first case, the assembly was done by a man who has already changed 1000 assemblies and understands.
And the second assembly is essentially automatic and ANY person even a beginner will get such a result.

P.S. Probably it's hard to understand what I'm writing from the translation, but it's obvious to me.
P.P.S. And that's just my point. If someone disagrees with me and thinks that the first assembly is better, it's his right.

It also depends entirely if yiu're talking PvP or PvE. Npcs tend to go mainly with lasers, so high thermal resistance is always good.
