Considering one of these 3 factions to run Anoms in.

Does anyone have any pros/cons for these factions or advice on which one of these has the best loot, salvage, isk/hr, etc.?

I like the idea of goin Amarr spec since I can rat against 2 factions, but I heard Angel space has nice loot as well.

Any expertise is appreciated.

it depends mainly on which ship you would like to fly.

I should buy an Ishtar.

i would probably get a nightmare for amarr space and a mach for angels, but i wanted to find the space 1st then ill find the right ship.. theres a ship in every faction can rat and make good isk, i was more concerned about the loot and rewards for ratting in a certain area.

Im pretty familar with guristas and just a tad with serpentis

Serpentis = best bounties
Angels = best salvage
Blood Raiders/Sansha = best loot

It depends on whether or not you are planning to loot/salvage other than faction/officer spawns. My recommendation is go Angels if you are salvaging. If not, go Serpentis.

I'm very curious to know why some consider Sansha and Blood Raiders to have the better loot.

I run mostly cosmic signatures, so not anoms. And at least when you look at the sell price for Deadspace and Faction modules. Gurista and Angels come out way ahead (comparably tiered shield modules tend to sell for prices 2x greater than the Armor equivalents).

For Radar sites, Amarr decryptors sell for a fraction or the other races', with Gallente (Serpentis sites) seemingly being the ones that fetch the best price (likely because of ORE ship invention).

Magnetometric sites in Highsec are generally terrible, but for Lowsec or Null where Tech 2 salvage is much more frequent, Intact Armor Plates are great, maybe the one aspect on which Amarr space holds up against the other races.

ya i was curious about that myself.
Are you saying the "basic" loot from anoms are worth more on the market than other factions?
Or are we taking deadspace loot, faction loot and bpc drops?

Basic loot. The medium and large energy turrets tend to go for quite a bit more than equivalent meta projectiles or hybrids.... on average.

I never count on faction or deadspace loot. I consider it a bonus, not part of the income calculation.

Having done each, as Nightmare / Mach / Sentry carrier: It's fairly equal. The Mach can solo run high end complexes because of the speed tank and split incoming damage profile that will have you fit resistance against the boss shots.

Nightmare has some annoying moments with Sansha tracking disruption.
