Another person, another opinion.
Personally, I agree that the Enhanced Shield Extender is kind of meh when compared to basic/militia until you can get to Complex.
Therefore, I would take points out of Shield Extension and put them in Shield Upgrade. By doing this, you can get Lvl 3 with a large chunk of SP change (136,800Upgrade vs 205,200Ext), or by dropping the GEK38 down to STD AR you can get to Lvl 4 in Shield Upgrades and Lvl1 Shield Extension.
Crunching the numbers for a MLT Caldari Assault starting with 210HP shields (I'm not sure if Shield Upgrades apply to total shields including modules or just base suit, I've assumed the latter as it's worst case) gives:
First post setup
2 Enhanced Shield Extenders (33HP each) stack to give 61.7HP
Shield Upgrade 1 = 10.5HP
Total 72.2HP
Alternative shield skill setup
2 MLT/Basic Shield Extenders (22HP each) stack to give 41.1HP
Shield Upgrade 3 = 31.5HP
Total 72.6HP (plus reduced cost and easier fitting)
Drop GEK38 to STD AR
2 MLT/Basic Shield Extenders (22HP each) stack to give 41.1HP
Shield Upgrade 4 = 42HP
Total 83.1HP (plus reduced cost and easier fitting)
Taking into account Costs & Fitting
OPs (Enhanced Extenders) setup = 5220 ISK, 72CPU, 12PG
Basic Extenders setup = 1950 ISK, 36CPU, 6PG
MLT Extenders setup = 800 ISK, 46CPU, 8PG
Hopefully I haven't made any ridiculous errors, and please note that these are my opinions.
Also, it is likely that you'll want to maximise both skills eventually.

Edit: People seem to forget that you get 5% shield module efficiency when specing into shield modules.
the scaling of shield modules are (without mods): 1x 1.5x 3x of the basic shield module
if you have LVL 3 in shield extension this scaling becomes: 1.15x 1.725x
with lvl 5 in shield extension: 1.25x 1.875x 3.75x
A good compromise is to spec into shield lvl 3 and using STD modules if you want to save cash.
Yup, people do, my bad 
That bumps your fit up to about level with my 3rd fit.
My setup is more about cheapness and ease of fitting for the same SP, which says more about me than the fit...
