Basically, the way I see it is that the higher-level contracts are generally not worth spending the money on. They’re both more difficult to achieve and much more expensive. These are the ones I currently have access to prices and such, I will update this as I change faction contracts.

As you can see, the lower-level contracts are much cheaper in terms of loyalty gain. You get more loyalty in larger payments with the higher-level contracts, but it’s not worth it IMO. They also have a lot longer cooldowns. I run mostly the first 4-5 contracts now, and I seem to be gaining loyalty much faster.
