Smaller A vs D

That's not always the case. For a trading cutter for example 8D thrusters are better than 7A or 6A. Unladen the difference in performance is not much but once laden with 720t the 6A thrusters fail to opperate at all and the 7A thrusters have worse performance than the 8D with still higher mass. It's due to optimal and maximal hull mass which gets affected by mods again.

On my exploration Anaconda the 4D power distributor engine focused and stripped down has lesserr mass than the 3A power distributor. It's the lowest mass PD with which you still can boost.
The 5D thrusters are the lowest mass possible thrusters on the Annie too. No need for A-grade here.

Also D-modules are cheaper than A-modules which affects the rebuy also! There are a few modules where i ALWAYS choose A-rating due to performance which is mostly only the powerplant.

Well those sound like good points - I didn’t realize an 8d thruster is better than 7a for anything but reduced mass... I suspect there’s some math going on there I’m unfamiliar with.

Besides power plants, which other module do you always go with A?

Yes, FSD, fuel scoop and power plant are the eceptions.

Oh yes these make sense, and probably the ones Lucius-Darcia was referring to as well.
