To make a long story short, my mains corp is going though a decision process where we are deciding how to divy up loot or what is donated when finding exploration sites. we are trying to be fair about it and I was curious how your corporations handle matter such as these.
I would appreciate any ideas.
As of now we are just doing the site then splitting it amongst each other, but when do you draw the line and say this is for the corps good. (we are in 0.0 and the belts are very very $$$,$$$,$$$)

No line at all, put a tax on all such profits (in other words, treat 'the corp' as x number of other pilots). Calculate it so that you'll have enough in the kitty when you need it, but still as little as possible to a) avoid wasting it and b) to stop people complaining.
If it's about whether to split evenly or by ability, it depends on how seriously you take yourselves. My current corp splits the proceeds from joint mining ops completely evenly, irrespective of each person's ability to contribute. The reason for this though is to give a leg up to noobs who are still mining in frigs and cruisers, and to keep them interested.
I know some more serious corps do split by contribution. This tends to be corporations composed entirely of veterans though, where any one person is liable to walk out if they see a given split as 'unfair'. It depends on the makeup of your corp really (and for taxes, think about how you run the wallet. Are many things bought for general use with money from the central wallet? Or do people tend to buy for themselves, and make odd contributions in kind, on a whim?).

"you keep what you kill" from the ridik movies...
The best idea is to completely step away from dividing, splitting, or otherwise arbitrating the share of loot.
Just have an agreement of "you keep what you kill" from the get go...
If it is an exploration op--then divide up the cans--3 radars towers for you--3 radar shards for you.

Seconding the concept of treating the corp as a participant. "one share for me, one share for you, one for the corp"

My personal philosophy on this:
All loot gained as a result of PVP (or other revenues selected) and all donations should go into one hangar. This hangar should be chosen from selectively to reimburse PVP losses.
Alternatively all the loot could be sold and divvied up equally although this is much, much more time consuming.

In our corp we generally buy whatever it is (mins, salvage mostly) for 10% below market value. This way everyone gets "paid" directly based on their contribution. We do not however stipulate that corpies must sell to us. If they want to go to market then fine, no problem.
Senior players often dump garbage mods into a grab bag from which newbs can pick from for free. T1 ships/mods we build for newbs often for free (depends how newbie they are and how frequently they lose ships). Everything else we build (lots of things) we sell to corpies for cost. The only stipulation is that what you buy from the corp at cost is for personal use (if they run to market with it they are effectively competing with the corp's sales efforts).
Works out well and surprisingly most people sell their stuff to the corp rather than go to market. Partly because it is simpler for them and partly that 10% is less when you consider market fees and time spent taking loot to market and babysitting market orders. The really juicy loot of course they sell on market (although they will usually let corpies know and offer them first chance at it usually for a modest discount). Again though it is all up to them. No slaves here.
We also have a 5% corp tax (from bounties) which really is just to mitigate Office rentals (rarely pays for it all but close enough works fine). New members usually ask about it once then are fine with it and totally forget it. I certainly never notice it.
