sniper can easily match if not pass sinx in some aspects--namely being that they can cover more mvps and they can thors.
all you really need to get started with a sniper are traps and a ddtt and you'd be able to do thors. easy peasy leveling. if you go crit, even better since you just lock them in place. sinx, idk about. but you'd need your reduction and/or flee gears along with your dags.
both have mobbing capabilities, sniper with SS and BB while sinx can equip a Bapho or MA i guess.
snipers are limited and are often over in weight, but they should require less healing supplies than a sinx in a good number of situations--being ranged and all. in return, they'll eat alot of arrows and/or traps. snipers i knew like to get kafra clips lol.
for money making, idk. i wouldn't consider either class for moneymaking, but i know sinxes who make decent money. as for gef,. a bragi'd SS on any ginormous mob in gef is pure rape, but that requires a buddy or a dual client.
all in all, do you like ranged or do you like melee? lol. i find sniper more fun.
