Is the rating of the shield important?

I'm not talking about the shield rating stat, but rather the rating you get from adding an armor to your shield.

 

i.e. For columi it's 136, would adding a 150 rated armor piece add any significant benefit?

The only thing that the rating of your shield affects is the Force/Tech Power provided by said shield. As such, it won't affect your survivability to any extent, but it will affect your threat gen.
