I'm curious what the goal is of mission running, or what are some of the more common goals?
I understand about how the factions work, and the better your faction the better quality agents which lead to better rewards and higher level agents.
But how do you pick which corporation to run the missions for? Do you pick a corporation that has the largest number of L4Q20 agents available? Or do you just try to raise faction to activate COSMOS agents? Or do you look for a high concentration of same corporate agents in one or two systems?
Personally I enjoy the kill missions, and have been running them for Emperors Family, but I want to make sure that I'm not wasting time raising faction with them if other corporations offer better rewards in the long run.

Making ISK. Currently, standings have value only if you're EMO and like to bring deep pain to your soul, friends, family, grandchildren or pets.

sure there is ISK, but I keep hearing about people running missions for implants and special mods and equip or skillbooks, as well as loyalty point rewards. Just wondering if there is anything in particular I should watch out for.

I think all Corps give out pretty much the same rewards as long as you are working for a certain sector. Example: Military: Surveillance, Command, Security ect.
In other words, if your goal is to get a Caldari Navy Raven, it shouldn't matter which corp you run missions for as long as it is a Caldari Corp.
Even regardless of all of that, from what i understand is CCP is going to put in LP stores this summer where you can cash in your LP's for rewards of your choice instead of waiting around for the agent to give you what you want.
Bottom line is you are fine doing what you are doing.

The actual GOALS of mission runners are various. Some do them to grind ISK to waste in PvP. Some do them because it allows them to pew pew without causing grief/being griefed by to real people. Some do them for the isk & challenge of running them ever faster in ever better ships.
Personally I am a combination of all three. Even though for every 10 mil I spend on PvP fittings, I spend 100 mil on funky faction mods for PvE and collection :D

There isn't a goal, you just do missions, rewards are all similar at least when you compare the same type.

Goal of missionrunning (in high sec) is to get isk relatively stressfree (or with full set of high grade implants) so you can spend it on fun things. Like going out in the blaze of glory in T2 ships somewhere trying to kill the other guy.
Some people do it for fun. Some people also mine for fun.

The goals/rewards are:
1. direct isk for completing missions
2. lp's which can be turned into various good to have/good to sell things implants/skillbooks/faction ships
3. to grind story missions, which usually have bigger reward like an +x implant where x == mission level. And big bonus to faction standing (which has many benifits)
One thing you should be aware of is doing missions/increasing faction with one group will decrease faction with other groups. Keep doing this and you can't use that factions agents. Keep doing it more and some factions will attack you on site. Could be a pain to be KOS to an empire faction.

Besides the isk/loot/LP stuff standing has itĘs own effects.
1. Jumpclones w/ +8 personal or corp standing to each NPC corp
2. No refining/reprocessing tax with the NPC corp w/personal +6.67
3. Less tax when placing market orders with the NPC corp
4. Corp faction standing for anchoring POS in faction space
5. R&D agents with personal NPC corp/faction standing
6. Access to COSMOS agents that give out nice stuff for tags w/high faction standings
So if you want to refine or sell in a certain NPC station then having standing with them helps.
