Wondering best heist for money/xp/fun?

[Pherodactyl]

So i'm just getting into the game and was wondering the best heists for the following in both solo and with 1 other person. Its just me on my own and a friend who occasionally pops on.
1. Money - this I actually know to be cook off but I dont really like the endless heist so whats my next best option
2. XP - again not a fan of endless but what is best endless and non fo rthis
3. Fun + Money + XP, if im just messing around with my friend what heist is fun to play(to you) but also have decent money or XP
Thanks

Edit: for the fun one I am wondering what you find fun to play so I can try them out
Edit 2: Thank you everyone for your responses this has been very helpfull

- For quick bucks, you can always rely on Wave 9 Holdout run. Bring medic bags and shotgun x crit build and you'll be fine.
- Crime Spree is always good for stacking prizes, money, and EXP which can assist your 0 to 25 Infamy run easier.

Otherwise, just play any heist. If you only want to focus on fun, stick to OVK or Mayhem difficulty. Death Wish is debatable but only recommended if you have proper experience for it.

Xp - diamond store on the hardest difficulty. But stealth it instead, not loud as youll have a high chance of finishing it with all bags of loot. You get around 400k xp. Then move onto crime spree or counterfeit/cook off for the final bit of exp before level 100

On a benefit/time basis, nothing beats Holdout for offshore cash: $20 mill for 30 mins work.

Just shy of 136,000 XP too.

And the update has made it more interesting with additional maps.

Not sure it qualifies as fun though :/

Speedrun Election Day for the 25% EXP Bonus

-Rats
-Hotline Miami
-The best one - Cook off

"Fun" Depends on you

for money and xp.
ecm rush shadow: in under 3min you can get 11mil+ and 700k xp(XXV bonus so for non infamy i'd say ~280k).
For fun i usally run crimespree: you can get alot of card drops/money but the xp is meh unless you go for 300+ or play with someone at 1k+ or you could always join my 50k spree aslong as theres a free slot.

Firestarter was always a pretty fun one for me. Varied objectives and not too long while also being not too short.

[TheUnchosen]

Rats for money, Hoxton Breakout for XP, and your favorite heist for fun :)
I personally find myself playing Big Bank a lot when I want to have fun, so perhaps try that.

Money and exp: Shadow raid and cook off
These are fun heists for me: Framing frame on stealth, birth of sky and the diamond on loud
Actually the best way for money and exp is crime spree

Seconding everyone itt saying Rats and Hoxout. Firestarter and Hotline aren't bad either if you want some variety. I remember playing Watchdogs a lot when grinding but I don't remember how it stacks up against other heists for efficiency.

IMO best for money is Big oil on death sentence, very easy, my fasstest time was around 12 minutes for both days and payout was 20 mil offshore, can be tricky to nail the strategy for it tough

You have to consider fun factor something Death Sentence ISN'T meant for and Big Oil is very punishing as well especially for day 2 where you need to memorize the number of hoses which would be found on a clipboard somewhere in the house,which gas is the correct type which would be a stack of papers and if its higher or lower than what's on the computer.

You can half stealh day 2 making it much easier. Big oil is potentially the best heist for money(if you can pull it off)exept crime spree and beating even holdout for money(holdout still wins for exp)

i would say hox. breakout for xp and offshore cash.

Reservoir Dogs is pretty fun in my opinion
