Ok...this might be a redundant question since there's another here a little similar to this...but this is more specific so...maybe a little better.
Let's say this was a perfect scenario where there was no lag at all, you had all the time in the world, you barely / never ran into bandits while commercing, and all Shadow Missions were hard mode and completed within 30 minutes or less.
Which one would be better to spam all day, Commercing or Shadow Missions? Trying to make enough money where I can still make a profit even after spending 100-250k repairing my lance since doing Dailies every day only gives me enough to repair my lance.

You can spam some of the missions like SCC and Battle for Tali II in like less than 10 minutes if you are geared/have enough stats. (Sometimes even closer to 5 minutes)
Use a cheaper weapon. I probably don't even spend that much to repair my weapon in like a month of playing.

On hard mode? If it is hard mode that sounds like a really good way to make money.

You can basically AFK Commerce and watch Netflix or a video on certain routes Depending on the items and bandits you dont even need end game weapons

If you are strong enough, and do the SM enough times, you can do those SMs while watching a movie or something.

I'm guessing you usually do those on hard mode? I just tried Battle for Tail II on HM with a fomor physis lance and er...it felt like it would have taken 20 minutes to complete lol.

Then, you probably just not strong enough. Try coming back when you are stronger or something?
Do you have a problem with bandits as well?

Honestly I haven't commerced in a while, but if I used a fomor lance, probably. With my demonic I have no idea. Usually running hard mode with my demonic would make it easy, but I bought a fomor physis so that way repair costs would be cheaper + it's ducats so I don't use any gold.

Grab a Lich Spike Knight Lance and plop Penetrating on it.

Why not both? Just do the dailies and then commerce later.

In terms of exp/gold I think spamming taill II would be quicker than commercing. You can run the entire mission in about 3-4 minutes vs a commerce run that can be 2-4x that and not pay as much gold or experience. That's just my experience anyway, and I don't know if it's the most efficient mission to spam per se either. I do both though for variety.

That's already been addressed.

i always see this tail 2 spam really often at nation if ppl wanted exp and gold but never saw a video of ppl actually doing it and no im not doubting its impossible but my guild leader human who r1'd everything and wear the best gears like fierce ribbons told me it takes like 5mins to finish it.basically i just wanted a 3-4mins video of how its done.thanks in advance to whoever can post one.ofc no trans,demi and impractical buffs,then show the exp and gold acquired.plus they always say its done with cheap gears to prevent further repair cost.

Lyf probably does lazy runs of it, she should be able to complete it within 3-4 minutes. I mean even at my level, all it takes is a climactic crash + crash shot/windmill to clear all the mobs, and the max that mission took me is probably 8 minutes due to lag.
As for the OP, if taill II gets too boring for you, shadow wiz hm is another option. Shit ton of mobs spawn, and they all drop good amount of gold. Plus finest leathers.
As for commerce, it depends on if you wanna convert your ducats into gold or not... as for me, I'll probably use ducats to buy bags, but that's upto you.

oh great then please show me a video running it at 3-4mins wearing a cheap weapon that would cost almost nothing to repair cuz based on the posts that i see its how everyone does it,just a weapon ofc cuz repairing solo/encore items would cost a lot which defeats the purpose of it. not to mention acce takes a lot of gold to repair.
