Most ships under battleship size are good to go with passive shield tanking, even armor bonused ships like the Myrmidon (more on that later).  
Most ships smaller than a battleship can be passive shield tanked, even armor bonused ships like the Myrmidon.  


Most battleships are better with active tanking. The reason being that cruisers/battlecruisers can fit the biggest shield extenders already (large). So battleships have difficulties increasing their shield amount enough to reach good regen rates. There are of course exceptions like the rattlesnake or the rohk, the reason being not that they can reach good pure regen rates but that they have bonuses to shield resistances.
