I like your rules.
I don't agree with every one of them, mostly because I think exceptions exist for most rules. But as generalities I like them.
Your specific product advice I don't agree as strongly with. But maybe my markets are different than yours. (what a shock huh? *looks totally unshocked*)
Regarding mineral acquisition, I'll note that I strongly advise using Buy Orders for the bulk mins like Pye and Trit, and that the Buy Orders should be set at your build site. This means you need to haul less stuff. Hauling 100M ISK of rares is pretty trivial, hauling 100M ISK of Trit is really annoying if you're not a freighter pilot.
But in general, I like it.

YMMV but I find rigs annoying.
I find the market is highly volatile for salvage materials. I also find, as you did, that there's inevitably one material that is a bottleneck.
If you want to try rig-building I'd suggest using long-term buy orders in mission hubs to acquire your bottleneck materials before buying the other salvage materiel you'll need. You risk the rig price becoming unprofitable if it shifts down. But if you just buy all but the materiel at once except the bottleneck bit you risk having your isk sit stale while you wait to get the bottleneck covered.
All in all I don't like rigs. Lots of effort.
On the other hand they can be very fast turnaround goods. They sell quick in some markets, and build quick too. So if you do see enough of the bottleneck material component you can sometimes build them, and sell them, for profit, inside of an hour.
But overall I don't like them much.

That is very interesting Aluka.
I must have some odd product lists then. Typically my bottleneck material is Fried Interface Circuits. Very strange given the math of the drops.
Maybe FICs just are needed by so many popular rigs that despite being a common drop, which I agree they are, they just get hit by such high demand that they're hard to buy.
But very interesting numbers there.
Thanks for the lookup.
