Since I build so many turret satellite in order to boost my Maurader doff points so I can get aTrill Bridge Officer, I use alot of different turret satellites.
If I can figure out how to get the device slot scorpian fighters I'll get those too.
What I stuff into the Device Slots greatly depends on the ship and build of that ship.
Red Matter Capacitor is the standard. It always gets in there.
But the other batteries have a place just like anything else. Even Supspace Field modulator has a place at times, especially with a ship that has 3-4 device slots. I stay away from the deployable turrets since they don't do too much and they get destroyed quite easily. So far, I've generally not stuffed in the more exotic devices like Large Batteries and such because I just don't have enough of them, even after doing Elite STFs millions of times.
Every ship has large shield battery and red matter capacitor. Ships with 3+ slots have Dueterium for getaway, although I am looking at another option there, maybe aux battery or a combo battery. Ships with 4 slots are all big slow cruisers, and those have the fighters or weapon platforms.
A lot of people use the Subspace Field Modulator but I dont like using it, for a couple of reasons.

What could be the "couple of reason" for *not* using it? The only thing in space that deals proton damage (the only negative to its use) are tholian webs & barriers. So don't use when webbed...
And you don't need the Collector's Edition to get it.

It's unique per character, so I can't equip it on most ships. Devices are oh-sh*t buttons, I dont want to think about do I have this or that, just click the shield battery, or click the dueterium, reflexively. Also the tholian web can be when I need the shielding the mostl (stupid spiders, shoot through the webbing but I cant shoot back).

I use a red matter capacitor (collectors edition STO), generally a turret for the various STF's and a shield or aux battery.
