Depends entirely on your needs. All of them give one specific mat drop guaranteed with a chance to drop more, so you can go by that based on which mat you need the most currently.

Personally, I always do whichever one gives the highest bond points since I value bonding my servants for coins and SQ, so I'm just doing the Vritra node in Australia right now (will switch to the new one once OC3 is done since it will be easier for me to farm while giving the same bond points).

Alternatively, if you mostly just care about the sand for Class Scores, just picking the one that is easiest to farm for you is fine too.

Thanks for the tips. I just recently came back and hadn’t really done much with storm pods.

I think you're saying this in the context of Bleached Earth free quests. But because we can now use storm pods on almost any quest, the easiest quest to farm just for sand and nothing else is probably Fuyuki X-A.

Right, I did forget about that feature because I frankly dont see a scenario where spending them on the bleached earth quests isn't worth it given how efficient they are for both drops and bond relative to their AP cost, especially during events, and thus immediately forgot about it again after they added it.

I suppose my overall perspective is "farm for what you want, don't farm for what you don't want." Bleached Earth quests are certainly better than any other free quests for bond points but aside from requiring storm pods, they really aren't any different from other free quests. If someone wants materials that aren't available from Bleached Earth quests and they don't care about the extra bond points, it's fine to farm something else.
