This is a common question that I'm asked quite frequently and I'd like to clarify it for newbies and mathematically challenged alike.
Passive: W/O Booster - 168,000/week
With Booster - 252,000/week
84,000 difference
Active: W/O Booster - 190,000/week
With Booster - 285,000/week
95,000 difference
Assuming you hit the cap, Active Boosters are indeed better but only by 11,000.
Take note activating an Active Booster about half way through the week is smarter because it allows you to potentially Active Booster two weeks worth of cap if you are able to cap early the second week. Doesn't do you any good if you activate it Wednesday, cap Thursday, and only gain an extra 500 sp (at best) for the last five days of that week. |

The best thing to do is not play after Wednesday depending on your booster ofc. Wait till you're close to next weeks downtime and then activate your booster and hit your cap. That way you can earn with your booster the next week too. This is just for power leveling though :P |

I always run passive and I'll throw in an active booster whenever I'm active. I don't usually cap out but I get the active boosters for free when I buy merc packs so why not use them... |

Active boosters are best because you can straddle 2 weeks of Sp... even with only 3 day boosters. Plus if you do cap out you can get the extra 500 pts, this adds up.
Downside is you have to actually play and play quite a bit to get full effectiveness. Passives are great for when you know you cant do this (like on vacation, working, taking a break). |
