The new loot that was added to Cuba is great and should improve most players equipment scores.
I did 500 jobs in the El Soldado tier using the job with the best experience/energy ratio. The very fist job, "Rob Your Cab Driver" costs 10 energy and has a ratio of 1.8.
I did 500 jobs, spent 5000 energy and got 32 items. This is a drop rate of 0.64% and a cost of about 156 energy per item.
I mentioned in the previous post that there were two jobs not requiring consumables with exp/energy ratios of 1.95. The first was in the El Patron Tier. The "Eliminate A Rival Family's Agent" costs 37 energy.
On this 500 job run, I got 28 items and spent 18,500 energy. This is a drop rate of 0.14% and each item costs about 660 energy.
The best job of the El Cacique Tier also has a ratio of 1.95. "Arrange A New York Drug Shipment" costs 55 energy.
I got 30 items this time but spent 27,500 energy. The drop here is 0.11% and each item costs about 916 energy.
To sum it all up, it's best to sacrifice the extra experience to get more loot items. I would use all of your energy on the first job and do as many jobs as possible.
Job | Tier | Experience/Energy Ratio | # of New Cuba Loot Items | Drop Rate

To help you track your progress, use the Inventory Group bookmarket by Team Spockholm. It's been updated and includes all the new Cuban loot items. I can see that Zynga still hasn't given me my Trigger Happys back. I'll give it another day before contacting Customer Support. You can also see the unaccounted for Shelled Torso is still not dropping.
