I'm a SV fanatic for my ranger. IMHO, they are very helpful when you have a pretty meager hp pool and hp recovery system.
For me it's Loddy Shield all the way until you replace with raid gear. If you insist on having a hp set pack a maelstrom cloak too, those are cheap as heck.
Note: Philosophically I'm in the minority and should my ranger pick up like 600hps my tune might change. I'm mostly focused on MR and FR/CR if they come for free. Being able to easily hit 200-220 fire/cold in HoT feels like it helps survivability much more than an extra 100 hps. At least if you dont have your pick of the best raid slot fills.
