4 ~ Player Hangar Divisions
Really, at least give us one section for slots and one for the rest of the crap. If not more. Would only be of convenience for players, by reducing cluttering in the player item hangar (yes, I know what station containers are, and no, they suck)

I'm new to EVE, but this a no-brainer. Some manner of station hangar item management would do wonders to my basic satisfaction with the in-game UI.

I also presume that with proper implementation, such an idea would significantly reduce database queries/accesses and improve overall server performance.

One implementation would involve the addition of user-created subgroups or folders for station item hangars (but could also be applied to individual containers). Items could be manually placed in subgroups and/or (better) the subgroups could be user configurable by item type or class. A 'sort to subgroup type' variable could then be added to the item 'sort' menu.

A similar, but more limited, functionality could be gained by granting the various station containers a configurable sort function (i.e. user configures a container to store all ore and mineral types, or all ballistic ammunition types, or all tag types, etc).

It makes little sense to have players open an station item hanger and sort through 500+ different items when a simple user-created subgroup implementation with a sort function could cut that number down by a substantial percentage while improving item management functionality. Further, as there would seemingly be no need for the database to immediately access every item contained in a subgroup, the overall server load should see some improvement.

tl;dr: Second.
