Easy answer. Compress and sell. Plagioclase, all flavors currently.

For highsec srtuctures (and depended of your reprocessing skills) - it will be most probably compressing.
If you want to know exactly, just build a very simple spreadsheet containing prices of ores, compressed ores and minerals YOU will obtain by reprocessing.

You need 100 units of normal ore to reprocess or compress, 1 units of compressed ore to reprocess (it containst 100 units or normal ore). Remember that doing the calculation.

Then you just reprocess 1 batch of ore to determine what you will get in particular structure with your skills.

Enter quantities in spreadsheets, calculate value with current prices - and you will see what is better immediately.

Once you have this kinda tool you gain more options.
Since you know the mineral worth vs market value of ores, you can buy up undervalued ores and reprocess / compress them for profits.

Many miners value their ores according to the mineral worth. Exploit this, but remember: Ore value = Compressed Ore price / 100

One other thing to take into consideration is how quickly you want to flip your product. 10 billion worth of minerals will move a lot faster in Jita than 10 billion worth of compressed ore, in my experience at least.

Yes, I'm looking into compressed ore atm, because I'm tired of shipping tons of Trit across New Eden. But a quick check showed, it would be difficult to buy the supply in Jita for a reasonable price ...

... are there any wholesalers for compressed ore, a channel for that?
