Best biome to turn mob farm into?

[Hollow]

I've got a mob farm that makes me pretty rich in the caverns. Tons of money and accessories to sell. Right now it's artificially put to jungle since that raises the spawn rate with the water candle, but I'm wondering how I can make it better. Would adding something like crimson or hallow be a good change or no? Only thing I'm worried about with that is that I can AFK farm it and just leave it running as it is. But if I were to go crimson or hallow, those mega mimics and other things that go through walls will take my lunch money if ya know what I mean.

jungle. it has the highest spawn rates of all, snatchers also cannot reach you when they spawn from offscreen

jungle with upgraded dart traps to kill the trappers so they dont clog the entity counter

Snatchers? I've never seen any in or near the jungle farm. I do get the jungle bats though. But then again, I do have a dart trap on both sides to set off mimics so maybe that gets em.

Isn't boss grinding easier?
Like, its faster, and, depending on which boss and what difficulty, you can get pretty nice money from it

you have to put jungle grass on the outskirts of the farm so jungle enemies can spawn

For afk money this is the best but it takes some setting up. https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/the-best-and-simplest-lucky-coin-money-farms.117627/

For anything else just throw together a simple farm and change the biom as needed.

While trying to get the lucky coin and eventually greedy ring you might make enough to fund yourself just by doing the pirate invasions. (can also shimmer a discount card for a lucky coin)

Sure, it was a pain to build the farm, but nothing's easier than sitting AFK reading a book and doing laundry for a little under an hour and then coming back to 22 platinum and like 3 chests worth of expensive accessories like magic quivers, armor polish, and mimic drops. Call it cheap or whatever but I hate having to grind an absurd amount of money only to fail to get legendary modifiers.

Hmm, sounds a bit too much for something so simple, at least in my opinion
Like, wouldn't it be easier to get it from an All-Items world? It'd be the same amount of effort.

That'd go against my gamer morals. I consider a mob farm to be legit and necessary sometimes. It's a feat to build one depending on your skill and difficulty level. Although you get basically unlimited coins and accessories to sell, the accessories are very specific and useless past a certain point. I found it specifically very helpful for the mechanical bosses on expert+. Wouldn't say it's the same as hopping onto an all-items world and grabbing whatever you want.
