The Aegis Shield is identical to the Opal Shield, except that it offers resistance to Poison instead of Lightning. Since both the Opal and Dragon Armors offer resistance to Lightning as well, this is a nice tradeoff. Your KNIGHT will be virtually immune to Poisoning and Petrifying gaze attacks, not to mention the BANE Spell.

The Aegis Shield is the best shield in the game, evasion-wise. It also resists the four status Elements, which is generally more useful than the Dragon Shield's Elemental resistances since front-line fighters tend to have plenty of HP to soak damage attacks. Combined with the Dragon Armor, you'll have the same resistance as you would have with a Ribbon. If you want a second Aegis Shield (perhaps for the extra evasion), Iron Giants rarely drop them, but it's much easier to find a Dragon Shield for a second front-line fighter.

The Aegis Shld is arguably the best all-around shield (except the Paladin Shld, of course). It offers moderate Defense but very high Mag.Def and 40 MBlock%. Only the Force Shld has more, and it offers no Defense at all. You can only find two of them, but they will both serve you well.
