So wouldn't you be an idiot to use anything other than the +30% chance one?
Possibly.
There are two approches for ship invention:
High probability / high cost
Max run BPC
Ship as meta item
+30% 4-run decryptor
Each attempt cost a lot, and you have 20-25% chance to get a 5 run BPC
Low probability / low cost
1-run BPC
-60% 9-run decryptor
Each attempt is really cheap so you can do quite a few more attempts compared to the one above. You have 8-11% chance to get a 9-run BPC.
It's up to you which approach you want to follow but I have now invented 12 9-run ship BPCs in 111 attempts.
Btw, my record is 24 consecutive fails so your 6 fails is just a bad start.

How the hell are you supposed to make money inventing ships when you fail 90% of the attempts? Especially ones larger than frigs that take a lot of data cores? Isn't it bad enough that you only get a 1 run bpc out of it, and they take a lot of cores? Why should they also have a horrible chance of success?
Take occators, which are still fairly high price items. At 8 data cores per attempt, you are looking at an approximate cost of 30 million isk per attempt. If it takes 10 tries to get a 4 run bpc, that's a per run cost of 75 million isk, which is about what they sell for, which is at least 3 times what they should cost.
With the best chance decryptor you should have about 25% chance to get a 4-5 run bpc depending if you use max run BPC or not.
From personal experience of inventing Hulks, 111 runs of Covetor BPCs became 108 runs of Hulk BPCs using the max run decryptor. That means if you do enough inventions the Occators will cost 30-35M per run to invent.

I finally had a look at this guide and noticed you got the pre Trinity stats listed for the decryptors on this page.
