I think it'd be better to make a clear distinction between hand and pod mining, where both have benefits and drawbacks making the choice to use one over the other a situational matter.
Example: Pod mining is faster, but hand mining yields higher quality and/or quantity since it's more precise and less gets destroyed by the pod gear
If you're mining run of the mill mauxite, you can just drill it with the pod because who cares if you get less it's so common. But if you find gold, maybe you want to hand mine that for a larger sum
