What type of lifestyle templates do you find particularly appropriate for shadowrunners, keeping in mind lifestyles are typically used as hideouts and operation base, in addition to living?

I think that a good combination might be:

Area 2 (Low) (to save on expenses: if one invests in security, has little to worry from burglars anyway)

Comforts 4 (High) (if the lifestyle gets to be used as safehouse, far better to have it comfortable)

Entertainment 4 (High) (as above; plus, one gets better matrix access)

Furnishings 2-4 (Low-High) (this is another area where one can potentially save, unless the char really likes to be surrounded by beauty; Low is threadbare functional, Middle is adequate, High is stylish)

Security 4 (High) (keep your equipment safe)

Space 4 (High) (to keep in-house all those shamanic lodges, hermetics circles, and various shops)

Plus, for a for a safehouse-like lifestyle, and some Flaws to cheapen it:

Defensive Setup +0.10
Escape Tunnel +0.10
Inconspicous Housing +0.10
Privacy Screen 3 +0.30
Reliable Utilities +0.10
Cacophonous Neighborhood –0.05
Disgusting Neighborhood –0.05
Horrible View –0.05
Middle of Nowhere –0.05
Rough Neighborhood –0.15

if one also aims for magical powerhouse:
Defensive Setup +0.10
Inconspicous Housing +0.10
Manaline/Power Site in the Basement +0.30
Privacy Screen 3 +0.30
Reliable Utilities +0.10
Astral Magnet –0.20
Bad Reputation –0.05
Haunted 2 –0.20
Infestation 2 –0.20
Middle of Nowhere –0.05

Or for a more comfortable lifestyle aimed to greater relax:

Defensive Setup +0.10
Good Insulation +0.05
Privacy Screen 3 +0.30
Reliable Utilities +0.10
Watertight +0.05
Annoying Neighbors –0.05
Horrible View –0.05
Mail Leftovers –0.05
Middle of Nowhere –0.05
This isn’t Sam’s Pizza –0.05
