So I've been looking around at various build related things, and it seems the Plasma Generating Embassy Science consoles are the way to go (since I have a beam build).
Currently I have a bunch of Field Generators in my Science console slots for extra Shield HP, but the Embassy consoles don't come in that particular flavour.
Which of the Embassy consoles is best to replace them with, and is it worth the drop in survivability?
Thanks!

It would be nice to know what ship you are playing and what you try to do but in general there are three options:
1.) If you don't have Exotic Damage abilities but Plasmonic Leach or Tetryon/Polaron weapons go for DrainX - Nullifiers so you won't be a primary target
2.) If you run Tractor Beam Repulsors go for EPG Nullifiers to reduce your agro but get some nice damage
3.) If you run Feedback Pulse and or Tractor Beam Repulsors go for EPG Amplifiers designed for Agro-Tanks

Temporal Light Cruiser with Antiproton Dual Beam Banks. Currently have full Iconian set and am mostly interested in dealing lots of damage without exploding. =P
I've just acquired the Plasmonic Leech console, and don't make much use of all the clever Science abilities (I have another character for that). So DrainX Nullifiers would be the way to go in that case?
And is it just me or are the Consoles all listed twice at the Embassy store (and I'm not just confusing the Nullifiers with Amplifiers or vice versa)?

You want the Plasma Generating Weapon Energy Signature Nullifiers with the modifier that benefits your build. Since you're looking for boosting sheilds, [Console - Science - Plasma-Generating Weapon Signature Nullifier Mk ?? [ShHeal]]
But honestly, with out more info on what you build is, I can't give much more advice, but Def get the Plasma Generating Weapon Null consoles.

It looks like Nullifiers with DrainX are the way to go. Thanks all!

I think (some of?) the consoles are listed twice because it was never updated for the skill system change, which merged several skills into one umbrella skill.
In any case, if losing Field Consoles has an appreciable effect on survivability in the Temporal Connie, you need to refine your build a bit.
Later edit:
Elaborating on that last, the Temporal Connie has a LCdr Tac, Sci, and Uni/Com with a Cdr Eng/Tem.
If we stick a Tac in the Uni/Com, we get the basic DPS cycle of 2xFAW3 2xAPB1, as well as the 2xTT1 everybody carries.
If we grab two purple Conn DOffs, we free up one Ens slot for a Command ability like Overwhelm Emitters, a shield drain/regen.
A LCdr Sci lets us do ST1/HE2/GW1 (or DRB2).
Grabbing two (purple) or three (blue) Damage Control Engineer DOffs lets us carry EPtS1 and EPtW3, as well as AtSIF3 and an Lt Temporal ability like Gravimetric Conversion 1.
So putting that together:
LCdr Tac: TT1/APB1/FAW3
LCdr cUni: OE1/APB1/FAW3
LCdr Sci: ST1/HE2/GW1 (or DRB2)
Cdr tEng: EPtS1/GC1/EPtW3/AtSIF3
That gives us TT1, EPtS1, EPtW3, and AtSIF3 cycling. We get FAW3/APB1 every 20s as our attack.
AtSIF3 is already keeping the hull resistances up, and in most encounters will keep up hull by itself. HE2 is there in case it doesn't, and to clear DoTs.
If that isn't enough to keep your hull intact, sticking a Reactive Armor Catalyst in one of your 4 device slots should cover those rare situations where your hull isn't just taking bleedthrough damage.
Between EPtS, OE1, ST1, and GC1, your shields should pretty much always be up.
Then there's the Bio-Molecular Shield Generator ability from the 8472 reputation.
On top of that, with 2 purple Conn and 2 purple DCE DOffs to enable the above, you have 1-2 slots for Shield Distribution DOffs to turn your Brace for Impact into yet another shield heal.
Who needs Field Generators?
