Given the paucity of links in many matches now, it seems like it might be a solid investment. Repping with a non-Min logi is terribly laborious, though, so I'm a bit torn.
Solo scout here.
I put SP into uplinks back around 1.8 so I could get uplinks down if my team needed them. Then realised I could do better with an Amarr logi. So my Amarr racial logi choice is specifically for the best uplinks.
Since then I've gone "full" logi, got L5 skill, and now run around the field with PRO links, PRO hives, and an ADV repper. Can't fit much more. You have to choose between your third piece of equipment, and there are more logis with reppers running around than there are needles, so that's what I went for. Plus solo makes needles make more sense.
Not using a repper also frees me to fight too instead of having to train a tool on a fattie. I use the plasma cannon and Ion Pistol as weapons. My style is to suppress / push with blues. Oh core nades help too. The PLC is awesome if you manage to land your hits, the Ion Pistol I use from my scout days - a charged shot will wreck a lot of suits.
If you like earning WP too (who doesn't) then I've noticed a huge increase from the team spawns since bandwidth. Makes sense - working as intended. I'm currently playing around with the uplink placement now they have tiered scan profiles to see if it's possible to hide the links so they don't (all) get cleared out. I've been surprised to see one remaining before when others have been cleared ...makes me think mercs might need to hunt for them if they're somewhat hidden.
Whilst a good team will usually beat a bad team, you can heavily influence the battle with the uplinks when nobody else is using them and give your guys a fighting chance they otherwise wouldn't have had. I find it really fun to run in this suit.

Yeah I thought I've been noticing something up with the spawn times when I've died and got uplinks out there. It really should stay at the time including the modified bonus.
