I generally avoid databases of both types. They are the absolute most inefficient control generating auxiliaries.
Monitor Banks / Mega Monitors are pretty damn good.
Another option is if you have a Hidden base plot size that is the same cost for the Secure variety, and you have the right kind of control room set-up, you can just use two mainframes.

I see myself as witty, urbane, highly talented, hugely successful with a keen sense of style. Plus of course my own special brand of modesty.

I've been looking at that possibility. Right now with one Mainframe I can't use Monitor Banks because the output is too low. I do wish there was something 15/30 instead of 10/20. Ah well.|

But even with two mainframes a single advanced database puts out more control than all 7 I currently have. So two with two mainframes I'm still concerned that I won't have enough control to max out my teleporters, storage and crafting.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
Yeah, I wish there was an "in-between" unit.
You either are squeezing for every last drop of control, or you go to the next size unit and have WAY more control than you actually need.

So right now I have a Mainframe, I've unlocked my supercomputer but haven't had the time/chance to lay out the new plot with the larger room (currently control is in the middle so will be a big deal to re-arrange).
Anyway, I'm looking at the options for Aux items as I expand and it looks like the mega monitor is way more energy efficient than advanced databases. Other than defensive items is there a need to go with the advanced databases?
I'm already a touch over the control capacity on my Mainframe due to taking up two slots with a pillar of ice and flame and a mission computer. So I had to ditch a few amenities I wanted to lay in. Hence the upgrade. =)
