Which is better in your opinion, one more shield(HP) or rolling more dice to have a better chance of not taking damage until you take damage?

In X-wing theres a Shield upgrade that gives one more shield to your ship. Or for the same cost, stealth device that allows you to roll one more evade(defense dice) every time you are hit until you take damage and can never use the effect again.

If you can rebuild your shields after taking damage, I'd rather have a stronger shield than an effect that goes away for good after one hit.

the extra chance to evade all damage sounds more useful

1 evade is basically 1 hp, so unless you're facing specific abilities that avoid it, then evade works similar to FnP in Warhammer, and is better since any survival means the chance to survive again - or if it's a d6 based game, your effective HP increases by 20% instead of just 16.666667%
