I used all of them, but efficiency wise, Annie and Vette beat them all, by far, for several reasons:
1 - obvious, loading capacity !
2 - utility slots : not only you can decorate them with zillions of heatsinks, allowing you to spend years in the oven inside, but you will never run off them.
3 - NOT just passengers : you can "clean" all the items floating inside very fast ( escape pods, black boxes, materials, etc ) since you can allow a pair even two pairs of collector limpets AND you still have room for 32-64 tones of cargo for those items.
To Conclude:
EACH trip should get a "score" based in the numbers of "stars" you can get per trip. Small ships will get half dozens of stars, more or less; medium ones, like Python, 20-30...
But the Vette and Annie will beat them all with 40-55 stars / trip ( you get 20-30 from passengers rescue and 25-30 MORE from the missions given by the rescue ship where you unload the passengers ;
That is, you can "rush the grind" from low rank in Empire / Fed in just a few hours of intense gameplay. What will usually take days or weeks, with a Annie or Vette can be done in hours, in this rare, particular occasion.

I know I'm kinda late to this thread but, I'm currently running evacuations in Atlas. I'm using an anaconda I had left over from when I bought my federal corvette. Packed to the gills with economy cabins, without a shield generator, I carry out 202 people a run. I realize that no shield generator probably scares a number of people but, I have the military grade composite bulkheads. My runs generally make me 3.2 - 3.6 million.
I tried with the beluga liner last night and managing those spoilers was a nightmare.
Don't you run out of missions after 2 trips, or are you jumping from one station to the next? If you're working from one station, it's more efficient to do the salvage missions too, in which case, this build works very well. No engineering is necesaary, though anything that reduces heat helps.

After Wednesday, there won't be enough burning stations if it's the same as the last two times, so you'll have to do the salvage ones as well if you want to carry on.
