Health, hands down.
The Numina's will always be providing the bonus in Health. You'll only get it for 120s after activating One With the Shield (leaving at least 240s of down time).

Health is the better choice here.
Though, if you have the slot to spare you could put it in True Grit as well and it would be just as effective.

so how does it work in health, will it be continually up?

It's active when the power is active, and since Health is a passive and active all the time, yes, it's continually up.|

The regen/recovery uniques and other IOs that work like them, stealth IOs and the Kismet +def, for instance, work best in passive powers. If you don't have a passive to slot them in, a toggle that you plan to use all the time is the next best choice. Click powers like OwtS are the worst choice, unless it's one you plan to set on auto.
The other thing to remember is that when exemping, they will work as long as the power is active. If exemp low enough that you can't use the power, you'll lose the benefit of the IO. That's another reason why Health is such a good choice, since you now get it at level 2!

Note, however, that for "Chance for X", where the chance is less than 100%, click powers that can be activated at least every 10 seconds are the BEST choice - the faster, the better (eg: Chance for [Type] Damage, Chance for Recharge, Chance for Build Up)

Health and True Grit are both good choices. You're more likely to have a spare slot in Health, but in True Grit you could slot a full Numina's set for some ranged defense (technically you could do the same thing in Health, but it would be kinda wasted).
Edit: Although then you can't put any resists in True Grit.

Though AoE toggles aren't a bad choice either; they only have a chance to hit every 10 seconds, but they have a chance to hit on every target.

I have a BS/SD scrapper, and I don't know whether to slot this in One with the Shield or Health... can anyone offer any insight?
