I prefer trolls to thickets/mire, actually. I guess it's because on Ragnarok there is always 24-60+ people in the merit camps at any given time, once you get more than three parties in there it's not worth it at all.
With MNK MNK WAR BRD BRD(sometimes WHM) RDM we get about 20k/hour, unlimited chains only restricted by time and sometimes over-pulling. Usually the camp (western camp) does not have any parties in it, which is good for us. I guess it's included in the stigmata that they have too much HP and stoneskin loses chain. Here's a tip though, when they use diamondhide around other trolls then their self-stoneskin is weaker, and overall you kill faster (compared to 1 troll with max 750 stoneskin.)
If you bring MNK's and WAR's and very good NIN then you won't have a problem breaking stoneskin for chain with DoT, but with jobs such as THF it becomes a problem.
Thickets has been good to me once, where Mount Z. has been good always. There are just more ingredients for disaster in Thickets, and I haven't returned to mire since I was camping flies against six other parties.
Note: our warrior is a Ridill warrior, probably the best on Rag. ;o
