By partnership I'm referring to LLPs, like REITs. I stay away from them because of the extra tax paperwork and the expenses that come with it.
I only mention them because of your focus on efficiency, specifically that as far as option trading goes, they are not worth it.
How the underlyings are taxed and how earnings are returned are additional ways to measure efficiency.
Indicating which underlyings offer dividends and how often and how much would be good too.

It might be helpful to show if the underlying has dividends and if the underlying is a partnership or not, if you are going for efficiency in taxes.
Edit: corrected typo

Yes they are, but generally they are lower for ETFs of broad indexes.
Edit: I think we are on the same page

I typically factor in the margin requirements so I can come up with some sort of way of comparing the amount of premium for the amount of capital at risk.
For example, IWM and TSLA are high on your list but IWM has a much lower requirement

I assumed you were referring to the illiquidity making it hard to get the mid, thanks for the answer

How are you predicting friction and slippage?

I don't think so but there is a risk of getting assigned and then it suddenly becomes relevant
