[EDIT:] had to post this twice [/EDIT]
Being a carebear myself, I would have to say it depends on where you are killing hulks. In high sec, the average hulk would have a fitting similar to:
3x T2 strips (~3m)
3x mining crystals + extras (negligible)
1x T2 small shield booster (so you don't have to worry about rats) (under 1m)
1x survey scanner (so you can pick the good roids instead of the bad ones, or so that you can micromanage your lasers and shut them off when the asteroid runs out of ore) (negligible)
2x Mining Laser Upgrade IIs or 2x Expanded Cargohold II (say 2m? Can't remember how much MLU II's cost)
2x Cargo rigs (always destroyed)
That means that the average hulk has a maximum of 6 million ISK worth of loot dropped (not counting ore) Please note that there is a significant chance that items will be destroyed instead of dropped. I have no idea what the chances are, but presuming there is a 50% that a module is destroyed, this means your average hulk kill will yield 3 million ISK - probably less money than the cost of insuring + fitting the suicide gank cruisers.
However, there is a 0.0 hulk fitting that involves an officer small shield booster which is able to tank a triple BS spawn. If you can avoid destroying the officer shield booster, one of these hulks are probably worth a couple hundred million ISK. However, considering that there aren't any rats larger than a frigate in high sec and that an officer SMALL shield booster won't save you from suicide gankers, there is no reason for this fit to exist in high sec. I suspect that there are only a limited number of these hulks.
I presume that the VAST majority of money comes from bribes and the rare hulk fitted with needlessly expensive modules. The hulk with ORE strip miners, IMO, deserved to die specifically because he fitted such overpriced modules on his hulk. An ORE strip is a T1 strip with an extra 2km range. Note: LESS effective than a T2 strip with the proper crystals.
If I am wrong, someone please correct me.
[EDIT 2:]I have no experience with T2 salvage, so I have no idea how much money you can expect from that.[/EDIT]
