Rattlesnake - Cruise or Rapid Heavy

I did the test with cruise vs rapid heavies in serpentis rock havens.

Large Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I
[Empty Rig slot]

Warden II x2

For cruise setup i used t2 cruise launchers and missile precision scripts in both guidance computers.

The implants :

5% cruise damage, 5% velocity, 5% rof, 5% explosion velocity and 5% for radius (cruise setup had a little advantage here damage wise)

The completion times :

RS 1465dps RHML @ 70km - 17 min 25 sec (965 missiles launched)
RS 1375dps cruise @ 70km - 17 min 17 sec (450 missiles launched)

Time wise they are almost the same (i had more damps with cruise, but i dont care), ammo wise the cruise setup is cheaper. Overall the cruise setup is a little bit better, but both are viable.
