What level of hacking and archeology skills would you recommend for 0.0
I think increasing their levels only increases the speed of getting the result.
So is it worth training them beyond level 3 or 4?
Are we talking about differences of minutes or hours to get the loot?

You need to get both to level 4.
The reason is that some cans need level 3 or level 4 to open (i.e. to even try). If you only have level 2, you will not be able to open all the cans.
There is no need to get level 5 in either skill - it is a waste at the moment, as the Dev's have confirmed no can currently requires that level.
Also - the level of your skill does not affect the loot that drops - just how many cycles you may need to open it. But we are only talking 1-2 mins tops.

Hacking
Proficiency at breaking into guarded computer systems. Required skill for the use of codebreaker modules. 5% increase in chance of data retrieval per level.
Archaeology
Proficiency at identifying and analyzing ancient artifacts. Required skill for the use of Analyzer modules. 5% increase in chance of archaeological find per level.
I currently have Archaeology at lvl 5 and hacking lvl 4, i also have the implants for these 2 skills as well.
My opinion is the higher you have them the better... it's all about hacking/Analyzing the cans quickly, when it comes to exploration, time is everything... the quicker you can open the cans the quicker you can be onto looking for the next site to find
I will be eventually getting hacking to lvl 5

Most people who do exploration do not have Covert Ops V or Signal Acquisition V.
In fact - I'd also get Astro Triangaluation and Astro Pinpointing to V before I got Hacking or Arch V IMHO. Like you said - Time is Money, and you spend most of your time scanning down a site, rather than actually doing it (or opening the cans).
Each to their own I guess...

I have level 3 in both hacking and arch and there hasn't been a can I haven't been able to open yet (albeit after many tries). Not even the cans that dropped encryption skillbooks and ship data interface bpc's have required level 4 in these skills.
