List of Shielded Cargo & Scan Jammer
Shielded Cargo
You obviously want the most capacity but some cost quite a lot of credits. So if you're on a budget you can just get the cheapest one you can afford, make a quick save before being scanned and try entering a planet multiple times until you succeed.

Scan Jammer
We recommend getting the Multi or Dual-frequency if you're planning to smuggle contraband frequently, but if you don't want to invest in the required Skill, it will be easier to just get more capacity with multiple shielded cargo holds.
