I've fought for, and against, quite a few alliances.
CA-pre castor. Other then atuk, they pretty much had nothing impressive going for em, other then the brief time m0o was up there.
Post castor, OC gave them a big boost (even though I do not like saying anything remotely good about em ) However, they became a bit bloated at this time as well, focusing on blobs and numbers to do what tactics and experience couldn't. Not sure if they let in a bunch of mining corps as has been rumored or what, but the quality of the alliance as a whole seemed to drop, and unless you ran into a bunch of atuk or oc, you didn't have much to worry about.
Still, to be fair, they are without a doubt the strongest alliance currently ingame.
PA- hrm. A few decent fighters, but all in all, seems to lack any sort of coordination in combat. Over reliance on ecm, tend to lose it when ecm not working for em. Over reliance on caldari ships. Makes preparing for combat easy when you know 75% of the fleet will be scorp/raven.
F-E Not a lot of experience with em. In limited encounters it seems they to have a rather large overreliance on caldari ships, and are very much into the whole... lets get 40 pilots together and sit here and smacktalk. Their only real tactic so far seems to be... let's put ecm'ers at 180k cyclejamming. It is a valid tactic tho. Probably a result of fighting NVA/PA so long I would imagine. That being said, they seem to be able to muster a considerable force of ships relatively quickly. Jury still out on em in my book, due to lack of sufficient experience with em.
FA- fought with. However, was a long time ago, and I hear they have come a long way. Don't feel my past experiences would apply to them in their current form.
SA Fought with them b4. Some decent fighters. Decent command and control, but could use improvement imho. Seems, imho that certain corps carry the biggest load of pvp fighting. Need someone to rally around. That being said, they have a lot of older experienced players, that have been fighting for a long time. Never underestimate SA, as they seem to pull a magic trick out of the hat at the most opportune(sic) times.
CFS know nothing about em.
All this being said, I don't think their is any alliance that can enforce their "claim" of a region, and corps like m0o and evol can pretty much do as they wish inside of them, due to simple logistical nightmares that alliances are.
Evolution..... Just when you thought you were winning.
