What is the best way to engineer shields? I thought maybe I toughen up the overall charge of them on cost of regeneration. But then again I dont know if its worth it, because sometimes I stay in res for an hour fighting if I have the time. I get hit a lot there with my anacondahunter.

I generally go with Bi-weaves and buff them to Reinforced G5 at Lei Cheung. Then add a mix of boosters.
There are a lot of different approaches you can take depending on what you're trying to accomplish. You can also go with A rated shields if you are doing trading or Passenger runs where regen rate is rarely a concern.

There's only one way to Engineer shields, and that's to go to an Engineer who can modify them.
Just as there is no "best ship", there is no "best way" or "best configuration".
Bi-weave are nice for their faster recovery, standard shields are good for their durability, and Prismatic, while heavier, offer even more durability.
Shield boosters are shield boosters, and can be modified in a number of ways. But there's no hard-and-fast formula as to what will work best for you.

Usually best to go 2-3 resistance augmented and then as many Heavy Duty as your ship/powerplant can take.
For the shield itself, go g5 reinforced or g5 thermal resist.
A grade the boosters unless you're heavily weight/power limited, then E grade resistance are very weight power efficient (EG for imperial courier)
Bi weaves and resistances are a good combo, Prismatics go well with Heavy Duty. Some ships like the Python may want to max out Raw MJ values for SCB reasons so resistance is less important
