I just spent 90 minutes on a 6/10 DED guristas plex and got 6 mill and worthless loot for my effort..
Isn`t there supposed to be some decent faction loot in these things?
After i killed the last NPC i blew up all the structures one after the other looking for some loot. I got an overseer personal effect and that was it..
I`ve also done a 3/10 and a 4/10 without much luck. Am i just unlucky or am i doing something wrong?

Exploration, generaly, is chance based.
You have only chance for reward. It's not like missioning.

I just completed "Blood Vigil" and all its escalations. Got a few Blood Crystals, an implant (worth 15-20m) and at the final room in low-sec I got a Blood Messiah BS that dropped a Corpii A-Type Small Energy Transfer Array (maybe worth 8m).
Considering I could have lost my Nighthawk in lo-sec the rewards in the final room was meh. After spending 20 min taking out the Blood Luxury Hideaway the drop was 100 units of consumer electronics. (TBH I could have used a Drake but it was a dozen jumps away.)
Certainly less boring than missions, and certainly no guarantee of a big payout, complexes not only mix uncertainty as to what you'll be up against but a roll of the dice in the risk/reward category.
I would expect you're a bit unlucky but you might ratchet down your expectations a bit, and be pleasantly surprised when you get something nice.

I've been running Angel Vigils and Angel Watchs recently, and including the escalations (The Big Blue and Nuclear Small Arms Project respectively) I've managed to collect a Domination 1MN AB, Shield Booster and BCU along with LG Halo Delta and Epsilon (lots of other stuff like Domination/Archangel ammo, tags, etc aren't worth mentioning). It's not good ISK, but it's fun ISK.

At least DED sites used to be pretty good. I say 'used to' like they changed them, though I know there is only anecdotal evidence to suggest this.
When I did Serpentis-Phi Outpost before around apochrypha 1.5, the overseer used to drop around 15 mil minimum, and sometimes you could get a 150mil module from it. The last couple of times I recieved some T2 salvage, and that was that.

The 6/10 Guristas plex can drop very nice loot. In that respect it is even better then the 8/10 Guristas plex. But it is chance based. Sometimes you only get a Overseer personal effect, and sometimes it drops a pithi x type medium shield booster (or something like that) which can be sold for 1.2 billion ISK. Then you will be happy.

The first time we ran a Blood Raider 6/10 plex the overseer dropped a Corpum A-Type Adaptive Nano Membrane. That was an instant half billion. The second time we got another one. The 8 after that dropped stuff that combined wasn't worth 200 million. It's random, unfortunately.

As long as i`m not doing anything wrong i`ll happily be patient.
Is there some pattern as to how these plexes spawn. I`m operating mostly in low-sec and previously i had only seen mostly 3/10 and the odd 4/10 - this was the first time during the two weeks i`ve been paying attention that i`ve seen a 6/10 in low-sec. On the other hand- the 6/10 plex was more difficult to probe down than the lower quality plexes so i might have flown by a few 6/10s without knowing it. Only reason i noticed it was a 6 was i coincidently had another character in a covert ops next door.
As i understand it you can generally find one DED plex per constellation + booster sites and escalation sites?
Also- back when i was in 0.0 it seemed that the plexes would respawn after a short while in another system in the constellation, but now it seems i can only find 1 DED plex per downtime in the two constellations i patrol.
How often can i expect to find a DED plex?

I usually scan 15-10 systems.. all 0.0 once or twice a day..
On a good day i find 3 Rated plexes.. best was a 7+8+10/10 all in the same system even.

I do plexes in lowsec and the reward > risk... Although I don't find fantastic items EVERY time, I do find alot of great loot (high meta stuff I can take to FW/mission hubs, faction loot, overseers affects).

Over the past three days, I've obtained the following from high/lowsec DED plexes + one combat site escalation:
Gila BPC
Worm BPC
LG Crystal Omega
Pithum C-type Medium Shield Booster
Pithum C-type Magnetic Scattering Amplifier
2x LG Crystal Alpha
Before that, I had a week where all I got were bits and pieces from radar sites, and the one 4/10 I ran only dropped overseer's effects. You've just had a bad run with the random number generator.
