The difference is not as huge as it could be: it regenerates at 2/s instead of 1.5/s but it takes 10 seconds before recharging.
So for regenerating 60 shield after taking a hit for example it takes as much time in SC1 and SC2 but mid fight SC1 kind of regen is much better because mid fight with SC1 shield you keep regenerating while taking the hits.
The reason why SC2 shields are way better is that they do not take full damage from all attacks.
