It's perhaps worth noting that although your shield does not affect custom fit (or matching set) it does benefit from the armour bonus from these perks (i.e. provided you are wearing all light armour in the head, body, hands and feet slots, you will get +25% armour from your shield, regardless of whether the shield is light or heavy). It does not benefit from agile defender or juggernaut, but it does benefit from your light or heavy armour skill, as appropriate. With 100 light armour skill, you get a 40% bonus for using a light shield, which is probably enough to make a light shield superior to the equivalent heavy shield.
