My favorite shield is a Tall shield, and I have a 12 in tactics. Given those facts, which shield should I buy and what should I pay (what are these two shields worth):

Tall shield, 16 armor, 9 requirement
+44 Health when enchanted
-2 damage when enchanted

Tall shield, 16 armor, 12 requirement
+45 Health when enchanted
-2 damage when enchanted

Which is the better shield? What would you pay for either? What do you think they are really worth? Only difference is a higher req and 1 point more health, but that does make it a maximum health mod, and I do have the tactics to use the higher requirement shield, but it does give me less flexibility if I choose to change my stats around. Help me out: which should I go for?

id go for the first one;
If you use tactics only for the sheild, its a complete waste of the attr points. As for the +1 health bonus the bottome one will have, don't waste your time/money. A 3 lower requirment will help you get your attribute points where they belong as a warrior: in your weapon of choice and support of choice. I'd say get the top one and get it for about 2k.

I'd agree, go for top one seeing how 1 point health will not make a difference and 3 attribute points will. However, maybe I'm wrong about this, but I would think they are a whole lot more than 2k. 45 is max after all.
