So on whim I decided to calculate the squares per rouble for each unarmored rig and backpacks. Now for a list of caveats. I almost always rounded up in the calculations. This doesn't account for whether the squares are in 1×3, 2×2, et al configurations. Obviously there's more to the value of any one of these items such as how much space they take up, the configuration, and the aesthetics (I'm looking at you Tarzan rig). Flea market prices can be volatile and future updates can change the barters and prices. I didn't include the flea price for every item. Just assume if it's not there it's either the same price or more expensive.
TL:DR New rigs are pretty good. New backpacks are bad. Cheapo items are good raw value. Flea can generally get you cheaper prices. Barters vary a lot on whether they're better on price or not. Crafts are usually not worth it.
