Lowsec DED Sites in Gurista/Serpentis space

So I've done lowsec 5/10 and 6/10 sites in both Serpentis and Gurista lowsec space. Now before people chime in with random is random, is it just me or does it seem like there are a crap ton of good rated DED sites in Gurista (Hallucinagen and Troop Camp) but so few in Serpentis? Has anyone had similar experiences? I've found that the Hydroponics site (5/10) rarely spawns relative to its Gurista counterpart

lowsec gall plexes can go for weeks without being touched. there's a ton of jackpot dead end systems full of combat signatures, that go untouched for weeks. the reasons are simple, rat ewar is annoying to deal with and can result in frigs closing in and pointing.

elite damps can lower targeting down to nothing, they are effectively a permajam.

add this to the simple fact that gurista space has some of the juiciest mods and BPCs out there. so you don't have to scan down half a constellation to find a good site, because somewhere on gurista space someone is about to pop an overseer and spawn another plex.

this is ofc IMHO.

i moved out of gallente space because i got fed up with damps. i'm enjoying getting neuted and tracking disrupted a lot more. :)

I've had good luck with the Serp 5/10 and somewhere between good and great luck from the Serp 6/10 (which is good, because it's hard to make that one worthwhile).

The site that consistently shorts me is the BR 5/10. But maybe that's just me.

I once searched the entirety of serpentis low in a single day, there may be as little as 2 hydroponics on rotation (note such a search is not authorative, its just indicative). On some days they may both be in solitude, which means you could search the other pockets and not find one at all. Its always been fairly kind to me though, I've only ever had one run that was OPE only.

You can however gunprobe an escalation 5/10 for either race if you are blessed with that peculiar kind of patience.
