Discussion
You generally don't want to fit more than a single booster, as the cap drain will be quite high. Instead use a size-appropriate (or oversized) shield booster matched with a shield boost amplifier.
Shield extenders are great for increasing a passive tank (remember that total shield and time to recharge are independent, so as you increase total shields you increase shield regeneration rate) but can work against you if they increase your signature radius too much. Finding a proper balance between shield extenders, shield hardeners, and shield rechargers is essential for a passive shield tank.
Shield hardeners are strongly preferred to shield resistance amplifiers as the resistance increase is much greater and the capacitor drain is minor.
Tackling
These modules will slow and prevent warping of enemy ships.
Stasis Webifiers
These modules will decrease an enemy ship's velocity.
Warp Jammers
These modules will prevent an enemy ship from warping (provided they do not have warp stabilizers to negate your jamming).
Misc
These modules did not fit into the above categories.
Hull Repair Systems
These modules will repair your structure.
Passive Targeting Systems
These modules will allow you to target a ship without them knowing.
Scanners
These modules will allow you to scan the composition of asteroids, ice belts, and gas clouds, as well as ship fittings and cargo.
Discussion
Passive targeting systems matched with ship scanners can be a great way to have an alt find the fittings of war targets. Hull repair systems are a great way to save money if you have hull damage and don't want to pay the repair fees.
Low Slots
Armor Tank
These modules will repair, extend, and increase the resistance of your armor.
Armor Hardeners
These modules will increase your armor's resistance a great deal while using capacitor.
Armor Plates
These modules will increase your armor's total strength while greatly increasing your mass.
Armor Repair Systems
These modules will repair you armor.
Energized Plating
These modules will increase your armor's resistance a moderate amount. Regenerative plating increases your armor by a percentage and does not affect your resistance.
Resistance Plating
These modules will increase your armor's resistance slightly for just a single MW of powergrid. Regenerative plating increases your armor by a percentage and does not affect your resistance.
Discussion
Hardeners are the ideal if you can support them, followed by energized plating and finally resistance plating. Armor plates are great for a buffer tank.
Capacitor
These modules will increase the recharge rate of your capacitor.
Capacitor Flux Coil
These modules will increase your capacitor recharge at the expense of total capacitor energy.
Capacitor Power Relays
These modules will increase your capacitor recharge at the expense of the amount of shield your shield booster restores.
Discussion
If you need capacitor and aren't shield tanking, power relays would serve you well. If you're actively shield tanking, you'll need to strike the right balance for you.
Damage Supplements
These modules will increase your DPS.
Ballistic Control Systems
These modules will increase your damage and rate of fire when using missiles.
Gyrostabilizers
These modules will increase your damage and rate of fire when using projectile turrets
Heat Sinks
These modules will increase your damage and rate of fire when using laser turrets.
Magnetic Field Stabilizers
These modules will increase your damage and rate of fire when using hybrid turrets.
Tracking Enhancers
These modules will increase your optimal range, accuracy falloff, and tracking speed when using any/all types of turrets.
EW
These modules will increase your targeting and reduce your susceptibility to ECM.
Signal Amplifiers
These modules will increase your total allowed targets, your maximum targeting range, as well as reducing time to lock.
Sensor Backup Arrays
These modules will increase your sensor strength.
Fitting
These modules will help you extend your power grid or CPU.
Auxiliary Power Controls
These modules will increase your powergrid as an absolute (ie. not as a percentage) so is useful for frigates and destroyers.
CPU Upgrades
These modules will increase your CPU without penalty.
Power Diagnostic Systems
These modules will increase your powergrid, as well as minor boosts to your capacitor and shield capacity and recharge.
Reactor Controls
These modules will increase your powergrid without penalty.
Discussion
If you need an increase in your powergrid and don't need as much as a reactor control provides, the bonuses of the power diagnostic system is a great perk. If you're in a frigate, you'll want to use an auxiliary power control, since a percentage bonus will not give you as great a power grid increase as an absolute 10-12MW.
Propulsion
These modules will increase your velocity and/or agility.
Inertial Stabilizers
These modules will increase your agility at the expense of signature radius.
Nanofiber Structures
These modules will increase your velocity and agility at the expense of structure.
Overdrive Injectors
These modules will increase your velocity at the expense of cargo space.
Comparison
Injectors increase only velocity and reduce your ability to carry ammo, inertial stabilizers will increase your signature radius (and consequently your incurred damage) for a bit of agility. Nanofiber structures on the other hand, will provide both velocity and agility (very comparable to each individually) at the expense of structure. And honestly if you've reached a point where your structure is being hit, it doesn't matter how much you have.
Shield Tanking
These modules will increase the regeneration of shields.
Shield Flux Coils
These modules will increase shield recharge at the expense of shield capacity.
Shield Power Relays
These modules will increase shield recharge at the expense of capacitor recharge.
Comparison
Power relays are great for passive shield tanking on minmatar, as projectile weapons require no capacitor. Flux coils will deliver less recharge than they state, because of their reduction of total shields (remember that recharge time is independent of shield capacity, so as shield capacity is reduced, so is shield recharge). So with that said, shield power relays are the way to go for a passive shield tank, but neither should be used for an active shield tank.
Misc
These modules did not fit into the above categories.
Cargo Expanders
These modules will increase your cargo capacity at the expense of velocity. Ideal for haulers and salvage/loot ships.
Damage Controls
These modules will give you a great deal of resist for your hull, and minor resistance increases for your armor and shields at the expense of very minor cap use. Great module to extend your tank. Use of more than 1 is not advised.
Mining Upgrades
These modules will increase mining laser yield at the expense of CPU.
Reinforced Bulkheads
These modules will increase your hull at the expense of velocity. You don't want to use these, as structure tanking is ill-advised and you can surely find a better use for the slot.
Warp Core Stabilizers
These modules counter warp jammers at the expense of targeting range. They are essential if you think you might get warp jammed and do not want to fight.
