for preference the manta as it is really quick in comparison with the dolphin. And even though the dolphin can be maxed at 3000 cargo this costs a lot of money and the Manta comes with 1000.
The thing is...there is no thing.

manta everytime

Its much faster so can out run most of the khaak and comes with 1000 cargo space to start with so you dont have to spend a fortune increasing the hold like you do with the dolphin

Dolphin is a good backup storage ship when you are mobile mining, that's about all it can really be used for, since it's far too slow to do anything else :)

Tried using a maxed Dolphin for selling once. Not once did it beat the NPC freighters to the sale. End results, low profits. Two mantas are better than one Dolphin any day.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.
