I've read now in so many posts about how 'Drone regions are crap..', 'Fountain is for noobs..', 'Our region is great coz we live here..' and other fantastically insightful comments littering the forums.
But what really makes a good 0.0 region in your opinion?
Lowest True Sec? Arkronor? Few choke points? Gas Clouds? NPC rat type? NPC stations/agents? Fewer Pirates? Proximity to Empire? Most targets to shoot at? etc...
Feel free to flame away. After all it is COAD, I expect it....But if anyone wants to leave a top five 0.0 regions with justifications why then I'd appreciate it and enjoy reading your comments. Cheers.

Not really a CAOD topic but who ever said Fountains was a for n00bs? That's the best damn region imho. Lots of resources and small amount of NPC stations grouped together. Gives a good ground to invading force but not too much to leave a defending group overwhelmed. -----------------------------------------------

5. Syndicate - For the simple fact it's a complete clusterf*** everyone is a target and everyone is shooting everyone else. The rats aint brilliant but they keep you in ships and there are a few belts with decent ore in. But it's the PvP everyone has cut their teeth in Syndicate and of course the only named system has it's own site!
4. Querious - Very rich area, the rats drop nice loot, and the roids are full of nice mins! Also another good PvP location.
3. Branch - Ok so it's out of the way, way outta the way, but thats a reason I like it. Also another very rich region where ISK can be made hand over fist. You can hide away a lil easier up there too! (Thats if you make it that far)
2. Feythabolis - Tactically it's a secure region, although the speed at which ASCN lost it, you wouldn't think it was, lots of choke-points and hardly any systems where the hostiles can come from behind. I really enjoyed my time down there and the Domination spawns drop HAWT loot!
1. Venal - Without a doubt my fave time in eve was when VLINC was part of DOOM Alliance living in Venal, my only officer spawn to date. PvP every day and access to NPC stations means you can have fun w/o the need for PoS warfare!

In my opinion a constellation / region has to be easy to defend, ofcourse Icefields are needed to keep you'r posses running as hauling your fuels from empire is risky and it costs iskies. good ore arkonor is a good example. True lowsec.. well -0.7 and below is cool :D Agents? personally I don't bother mission running anyway so I prefer no NPC Stations unless abadonned, as they also prevent you from claiming sovergnity. close to empire has its advantages and disadvantages for example an advantage is if for example simply, to buy your stuffs, often cheaper than in 0.0. disadvantage is it's hard to see a hostile gang comming up from empire. And Drone regions aren't crap, really you just need to know how to rat efficient. for example: grab a ratting raven to kill the Drones. ask yer mate to come in an itty with a tractor beam and a salvager to loot and salvage. as a former drone resident I know it's quite rewarding.

my 2$ worth
1) ((Best Area))Period basis, <3 Amarr rats, great roids, no npc stations which makes it hard for an extended occupation force, i used to live their pre bob. people only go to PB if they are going to PB, not many other reasons to go there lol, if there was a bright centre to the universe (jita) PB is the star furthest from (starwars quote ftw!)
2) Worst Areas Tribute poor poor area, its like desolate, a sahara among the stars tribute is where the disposessed go. kinda like syndicate imo.
3) The absolute worst area is jita, can we just put them on their own server ?

I like Fountain, but that's because I prefer to guerrilla it up out of NPC stations than be bothered with owning Outposts. You can base out of the Serpentis constellation, good rats if you need cash, and there's player outposts close by to go raid.
As for regions with no NPC stations, I'm partial to Branch, but just because I got my first and only Officer spawn there

Every region has it's perks, and trying to figure out which one is best is an exercise in futility. For example, a lot of people say Period Basis / Delve, but have you ever tried getting a ship down there? It's like 20 jumps through low-sec aridia, which is a pain in the ass. A region's richness is dependent almost exclusively on who is living there.

I like Stain the most. Good rats, plenty of targets, no pos warfare. Can you ask for more?

Very pleasing to see good comments with a wide variety of favourite places and diverse reasons. I guess it means the regions are now pretty well balanced by CCP.
I definatley need to go try living in some more places than just Syndicate and Providence. Though Providence is a kinda Babylon 5 place that I'll no doubt always return to for the variety of the good (small gang pvp), the bad (Pirate shortages due to over-efficient CVA gangs!) and the ugly (Milojko) .
Has the removal of static 10/10's made a big impact on the desiribility? Is it now key for alliances to have good explorers too? More comments welcome! Thanks!

I've lived in Fountain and Tribute and been based in Delve/Period Basis/Geminate at various stages of my eve-life and Fountain is a carebear's dream, with plenty of decent (and very easy to kill) rats and asteroid belts if that's your thing. However, as mentioned previously, it really is a pain in the arse to travel to/from.
Tribute is really quite naff for carebearish stuff but it has everything else in spades.. copious amounts of PVP thanks to direct links out to Vale Of The Silent, Venal, Pure Blind and indirectly, Tenal and the Drone Regions, leading on to the likes of Branch, Deklein and Fade etc. Given that it invariably gets plenty of traffic and is within 10 jumps of the main trading hubs in The Forge and Lonetrek, it's actually quite a nice place to be if you like small scale PVP.

My top 5.
5. Period Basis.I've only been through there but it looks like a fat, rich region with great blood raider rats. It's always looked sparsely populated to me.
4. Tenal. Really far from most fighting. When I lived there is was a very stable region. Rich ore belts, far enough from most hostiles and gurista rats.
3. Esoteria. High end ore, Sansha rats and from there you can get to Stain, Feythabolis, or Period Basis.
2. Branch. Just like Tenal. Both of them have easy access to complexes Branch has LOTS of good ore belts.
1. Feythabolis. I have never seen a region so perfect for carebears. it's as far from empire as you can get/ South end of Feyth near 2-r has 7/10 and 8/10 complexes, arkonor right outside the station, it's right near esoteria and one of the best ratting system in esoteria and ASCN left a nice bit of infrastructure there. Just remembering my time there makes me drool.

catch for the proximity of all the reds for the pew pew. amarr rats drop good loot for refining, but the security status of most systems is almost 0.1 which is lame. but for pew pew, catch cant be beat.
