I've seen people quote different coin drop numbers which make 13-4 or 14-4 look better depending on which you use. I don't care to test it... but those two are close in coins/oil ratio, and are a step above the rest.
15-4 does give more coins, but costs 490 oil while 14-4 costs 401 and 13-4 costs 392. Its ratio isn't even as good as 12-4's.
I think it makes the most sense to farm 12-4 until you've leveled up every ship in the game. Its coins/oil ratio is 87-88% as good as the max.
