Is 35-39 a good Rae recipe roll choice?

Yes, since it grabs those big three, stealths, the BotZ -kb, the Kinetic Combat triple, and the Obliteration Cs.
It's only not a good roll if you're desiring the rarer of the sets that cap at 30--Theft of Essence proc, Shield Breaker triple, Eradication and Basilisk's quads, and the like. Or you want a higher chance of say, the Celerity stealth or BotZ -kb. You probably will be able to afford those after selling your proceeds, of course, provided they're on the market.
(I purposely always roll the 30-34 roll, since it has the potential to get every recipe but the Salvo and Pulverizing Fisticuffs quads and the three Sting of the Manticore Cs, and I prefer unusual recipes to more cash at this point. This method garners a lot, a lot of the slow C recipes, I might add.)

What kind of 'duds' are there in the 30-34 range? I generally tab 35-39 myself...

Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
Other than slows, none of the true duds show up repeatedly, but they are things like Sovereign Rights (blueside), the Tempest end drain, Executioner's Contract (I suspect, never dropped, though Sting of the Manticore has gone way up in price once its drop rate dropped), Impervious Skin and Aegis triples (last I checked, anyway), almost all of the mezzes (Basilisk's a sharp exception), Perfect Zinger's Rech/Acc, Touch of Lady Grey's and Dark Watcher's Despair Rech/End.
Yes, 35-39 is a good range. This will remove the 10-25, 10-30 and 15-30 recipes (34 total) from the list and those are mostly not very disirable recipes, imho. Rolling on 40-45 will remove two more recipes, but one of them is Kinetic Combat: Dmg/End/Rchg. Rolling on 46-50 removes additional 11 recipes, among them the Miracle unique and some others that aren't bad. So from an economic standpoint you're probably making the most inf if you roll in the 35-39 range. However, rolling on 46-50 maxes your chance for the LotG:+7.5% and still has some other nice recipes. So if you're more the gambler type, you could try that too (the bank always wins, of course 
).
I have 1000 merits to spend on rare rolls.
Normally, when I buy stuff in AE with tickets I pick 30-34 bronze because it covers all the good stuff that ends at 30, but catches most of the good higher level stuff, but that is uncommons.
I know many say 10-14 range, but that means no LotG, Miracles or Numina. So I was thinking 35-39. Is this a good choice?
