I know one good one on Blue side which is Freakshow Wars... from some guy in Bricks. My search Fu is absolutely crap so i probably shouldn't have posted but it's late 20's/ early 30s and offers, hmm, 30 or so merits and takes one to a coupla hours. OK, i've gone so vague now i'm going to delete this post... ooops... pressed post!
sorry

Thanks, but I know that exists already and isn't what I need. It gives you a general impression of merit rewards and the amount of time. I'm asking more for people's personal experiences with arcs and merit collecting and such.

I was going to suggest The Freakalympics with its 8 easy door missions and only one defeat all for 34 merits. However, it looks like even though it is only 6 merits, Julius The Kind Hearted Troll may give better returns for your time. 1 easy hunt, 2 door missions, and only one of those is a fairly fast defeat all.

45-50 Gaussian arc gives you 2 merits per mission, with no defeat alls, and 1 EB (no av's). Seems like it might be faster then the division line since that has 3 defeat alls.
err.. looking at the wrong arc. Yeah, division line looks like no defeat alls. Gaussian might be neck and neck. Do ouro arcs give you half merits just like task forces if you do them repeatedly? If so, it looks like a Gaussian followed by a division line might be your best bet.
The Horror of War (45-50, 18 merits) can be done in under 30 min. Even though it has 5 AVs, it can be solo'd by many scrapper and tanker builds.

There's actually 2 EBs in that one: Tendaji (had to flat out drop that one on my Darkity/Dark since I was perma stunned and KBed despite having KB protection) and Deitrich in the final mission, tough but still beatable.

I've run Hatred's Hungry Heart for merits -- it's only 6 merits, but you can whip though it pretty quickly. Let the hostage die in the first mission -- not hard, as he enthusiastically commits suicide -- and you can zip through the lot in under 15 minutes. It's a nice arc for collecting the Ouro badges on, too, as all the missions are in one zone quite close together.

Death is part of my attack chain.
Everyone's covered blue so I'll give some quick advice red.
If you can stealth, or don't mind running past enemies, the Spy Hunt gives 16 merits and is plenty fast. Except the last mission is timed so you do all the rest in 15 minutes, log out then do something else while it fails and you collect the full reward. Midas Touched is shorter for 11 merits but it's easier to speed through spy hunt I've found.
Other than that, the only good options are the Rikti Warzone arcs mentioned above.
Basicly redside Oro is yet another case of "Dev's hate villains". The two highest merit-earning arcs are Johnny Sonata's soul for 14, and Sucker born every Minute for 17. Neither of which are fast, and there are literally no options for 20+ merit stories at all.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
I like the classic positron. It's 40 merits for less than an hours effort and is very easy to solo as well.
Try as I might, I can't really seem to find any posts that say which arcs are good in Ouro for running to pick up merits.
Having never played through most of the high level content, I have no idea how long a particular arc will take to run.
So what would people recommend for a Blueside Kat/Will Scrapper and a Redside SS/Fire/Mu Brute?
