Hey.
I'm in the process of moving, thinking about getting a c2 with ns/c5 or ls/c3-c4 statics. The reason for the move is that I seriously need something else then grinding sleepers to pass my eve-time with and the answer lies within some mostly unharmless roams. This will all be small-scale, but I know that those c5s can be done, even if the c3/c4 would be easier. My question would be, which pair of statics would be best? Null-sec is probably the most fun roam static there is, but it's a logistical nightmare. Low-sec is more balanced from a logistical standpoint, by I'm worried that low-sec is a harder place to be with a small roam. What are your opinions wh-dwellers?

You'll be hard pressed to find a C2/5.

You still don't seem to know what you want, to be honest you're all over the place. C2/5, C3/4, C3/L, C2/H? What do you want really?

Not a diplo.

C2 with C2/LS is obviously what you need.

You want small-gang, where pretty much nobody is going to bash your tower, with easy logistics from your home hole, and easy logistics/hunting through your static.

That's a C2 with C2/LS.

Sry, I my post might have been messy.
The primary question is between a null-sec static and a low-sec one.
The low-sec is usable for logistics when they're close to high-sec, which is a major advantage. The downside is that low-sec is more of a offside boosting pimpage and gamecamping type of pvp, atleast as far as I know. I'm more for the hunt, which there's plenty of in null-bear heaven Pirate
But my experience in pvp is limited so please correct me if I'm wrong. There's also the possibility of using wormhole as a hunting ground, atleast if the other static isn't a c4 (have one, it sucks).
Null-sec sounds more like my type of pvp, but the logistic would have to go through the wh-static instead. Not a deal-breaker, but it's a chore.
As for the wh-static, I'd rather have c3, c4 or c5 static, since I know that is where the iskies are Bear
Checked the pairs out, it seems that the low-sec statics only goes together with the c3 and c4 statics while the null-sec static only comes along with a c5 or c6 static.

That would be perfect, if I could keep my isk flow by doing C2 anoms, but I'd guess that it would be a big downgrade from my current c4 static.

I've lived in a C2 with a C5/NS static. Fuel logistics are annoying unless you like to mine ice and can refine it. Those wormholes are in the mag/radar range. A lot of NS is flat out empty or way too busy. C2's anoms are pretty terrible so either run the C5 stuff or dip out into NS and run ded sites/mag/radar. PVP wise, don't bother. Getting pod killed = no fast/easy way back into your hole.

I don't mind mining ice if I can find a good hole to buy, got 2 chars that I can mine on, just need to find a calm system with an ice belt. Heavily populated null-sec might be a problem when I run into, but empty null-sec just means that I can do whatever I want with it :P
Since I'm going to move cloaked, looking around little away from the null sec static isn't much of a problem and neither is the risk of being podded much of a worry atm. Just gotta make sure that I don't get locked out of my hole.
Seems like I didn't read up enough on the pairs of statics aswell, seems like the only wh-static that comes along with a low-sec one is the c2 ones. That made me consider the c3 holes, grabbing one with a low-sec static might be an option. I've lived on one and remember them being fairly lucrative, and the static is satisfactory enough.
Is traffic in a c2 with null/c5 a problem? Might be more calm in i c3.

anything with a null static is flat out dead traffic wise. People avoid them like the plague.
C2 static pairs are: C1/HS, C2/LS, C3/HS, C4HS, C5/NS. Haven't seen any C6 statics but I think those are NS also.

Confirming that C6s are paired with nullsecs.

Sounds good, thanks for the help everyone! :)
