Wanderer. Around the same energy generation, at the same-ish outfit size, including heat shunts. Plus, bonus energy storage.

i can't remember what reactor is better because i use THE ANTI MATTER REACTOR SCRUB DEAD BUSH

Then you shouldn't be here.

Anyone want to challenge my claim to Wanderer supremacy?

Korath Reactor+shunts+batteries<Wanderer Reactors

It really depends on whose shield generator(s) you are using. If you're using Wanderer shielding, then there is not question that Wanderer reactors are better because of the inequality shown above courtesy of FallenCat. On the other hand, if you're using Korath systems cores, you stainless benefit from having the integrated storage on Wanderer reactors, especially with large systems cores.

This is a very good point, but the Korath build still requires at least three large heat shunts, and that's a lot of outfit space.

Why not both? Dual Core+Blue Sun(?)+3 Large Heat Shunts= the best setup I've had so far.

True. I personally use Wanderer reactors and systems cores anyway because I find that they energy generation of these better suits the amount of energy I use anyway.
The recent heat shunt nerf also takes something away from the plasma cores, they still need the same amount of heat shunts to compensate but there isn't as much excess cooling to compensate for the systems cores.
Overall, I feel that there isn't really a true 'best reactor' within the current tier 2. There may be a best reactor for a given ship based on how the rest of its outfit space is utilised and how much energy it'll require but it's really down to personal preference.

The Blue Sun is prettier.

[Lt_Duckweed]

Tripple plasma core + 3 heat shunts
10.855 energy per outfit space
480 extra cooling

Blue sun + 3 small heat shunts
10.856 energy per outfit space
90 extra cooling
8900 energy storage.

[Anima]

Trade off between cooling and storage then.

[Lt_Duckweed]

2 Tripple plasma core + 5 large heat shunts + 3 small heat shunts
10.923 energy per outfit space
150 extra cooling

2 Blue suns + 1 large heat shunt + 2 small heat shunts
10.982 energy per outfit space
180 extra cooling
17800 energy storage.

Verdict is in blue sun is king.
