would say that the first ones should go in your base.
That would use only 12 shield generators so it probably doesn't have good height everywhere. You would place 1 shield on each pole, and then 2 rings of 5 shields. It's very important that the 2 middle rings do not align horizontally but is shifted by half distance as if drawing triangles in the middle. You can probably do it thinner spacing too with 2 + 8 + 8 = 18 shields.

tho this is just my opinion x3.
Before the latest patch this was true, but now that you can use the shields to prevent new bases spawning covering unused bits of planets is entirely sensible. That said even then you don't really need "100%" the droopy bits of shield prevent base spawn as well.

To improve coverage further, add four in two rings at 30 degrees N/S offset by 45 degrees (ie, 45/135/235/315), and/or go with 8 around the equator instead of 4.
This keeps the poles free for Ray Receivers.
