Coming from experienced players, which of the above would be more profitable? Everything (Most) of what i do is solo, so the class of the WHs will be around 3. Just wondering how much people make doing lvl 5s, class 3 WHs, and then straight up exploration.

Lvl5's solo in a carrier (not counting the obvious cyno alt) pay about 400M isk an hour at 1200 isk/LP (blitzing, 15 minutes per mission). However this isn't really farmable. Realistically you will make 200M isk in 30 minutes but that's all the missioninig you'll do that day. The reason is you will spend 12 hours rejecting missions to get another blitzable one. If you run all lvl5's no matter how slow and grindy, it's about 100M isk/hr solo using a rattlesnake or similar ship. Since lvl5's pay almost exclusively in LP, you are subject to market conditions. It's possible to make 3k isk/LP at times, other times you'll be lucky to get 800 isk/LP. And this is without changing agents/corps.
Class 3 WH's pay about 150M an hour solo but this isn't exactly my specialty, it's probably possible to do better. It is completely farmable unlike blitzing lvl5's. Given the lack of local as an intel tool, it is slightly more dangerous. Dual clienting is required however as you will want a dedicated salvager.
Low sec exploration pays between 0 and 1B isk an hour, depending on luck of the draw. Average is probably around 50M an hour. Like WH's, it's pretty farmable as long as you aren't opposed to roaming.
FW lvl4's pay about 100M an hour. The missions themselves take only minutes and in some cases, only a few seconds. However they all spawn 10-20 jumps from the agent, so yeah, lots of jumping around. These are completely farmable just like normal lvl4's. Since they pay almost exclusively in LP like lvl5's, you are subject to market demands.
Null sec exploration I know very little about.
Thus far you shall read, but no further; for this is my sig. |

How do you figure the isk/LP amounts? Do you look at certain items? And i was going to be doing this in a tengu.

L5 missions are my isk grind of choice :) Certain ones are not gated and can be ****d in a carrier and most ones that can take a carrier can be blitzed as well. Gated ones are mostly easy with a tengu as well but you won't be able to do them with an active tank as almost every L5 has more than a few Energy neut towers. For gated ones I use a tengu + basilisk for shield/cap tx. In that setup you can either fit a massive buffer tank on the tengu and let the logi rr it or fit an active tank and just use the logi for cap tx.
Exploration and raiding WH is less certain since you are relying on not only finding them but also hoping for good drops.
This is not the alt you are looking for. |

If you have relatively secure space in 0.0 to explore in it will probably net you the highest overall income out of your choices. If you aren't part of a large 0.0 alliance it becomes a lot slower and more dangerous as you have to plex squat. As with all exploration the income is extremely unsteady. I have made 3.2 bil in around two hours and I have made basically nothing over multiple playing sessions.

Determining isk/LP is pretty easy, calculate the total worth of the items sold, subtract production costs (ie tags, parts, LP store fee and so on) and then divide that number by the LP used. In formula form it is:
net profit = (a-b)/c
a = total value b = total cost of producing it c = amount of LP used
It is important to note that if you found some of the tags, those tags are not free. Be sure to include them in the cost assessment at full market value. I chose the 1200 isk/LP figure as a baseline number as it isn't too hard to get unless the market is completely saturated.
