HamiO or Merits?

Which is better to take from the Hami Raid? The rnd HamiO or the Merits? i want a ton of money...

well, let's see. the hami raid gives 40 merits or a hami-o. with 40 merits you can get 2 random rolls in which you could end up with 100 mil+. with a hami-o you can get 1 random hami-o and it could be 2mil - 25 mil or so.

Your odds of getting something worth over a million are higher for the HO than the Merits, but you won't get anything enormously valuable (50 mill or more). It depends on what you want to do, if you're going for cash then do you feel lucky? Then you may want to take the merits for the (small) chance of getting something highly valuable, a moderate chance of something in the 1-10 million range and a good chance of getting vendor trash.

Personally I would take the HO; sure there's a decent chance of a worthless Centriole (dam/range) but there's also a likelihood of getting something valuable. Even the worst HO is going to be worth more than a Crap of the Hunter.

Unless the drop tables for HO's have changed you're most likely to get a Nucleous (Acc/Dam) which should have decent value followed by a nearly worthless Centriole (Dam/Range). The real winners, Ribosome (Damres/Endred), Microfillament (Travel/Endred) and a few others are pretty rare. From issue 4 until issue 9 I participated in probably 500 Hami raids... in that time I got 8 Ribosome drops and 3 Microfillament drops. Cytoskeleton were relatively common however and have decent demand; pretty much anything but Centrioles and Lysome (Acc/tohit debuff/def debuff) have decent demand and value.
