ive been asking myself the same sort of questions...
i think you really have to ask what it is your trying to accomplish with breeding, if your using it to pay for your hobby, your best bet is figuring out market trends and producing what you think you can clear as quickly as possible.
if your trying to innovate, then you need a large initial investment for a rare morph.
and if your trying to just make a specific type of bp for your own pleasure, then thats pretty self explanatory, you do what you gotta do.
keep in mind that recessive genes tend to keep their value better, but at the same time take either a bigger initial investment or a large time investment to get into.
co doms are quick to get into, but can be difficult to move, with people now doing quad-co doms, the single and doubles are going to be much harder to sell, i myself skip anything in the classfieds with "09" in its name, because baby codoms simply arent a breeders market unless they are triples, quads, or have a recessive gene as well.
a good example of this is the sheer amount of people producing bumble bees this year, it took roughly a year and half to cut prices nearly in half, and thats only going to get lower.
i wish you the best of luck in whichever path your persuing, i myself have to continue my goal of a queen clown
