It boils down to how much money you want to make and how much cost you want to incur to your stamina. Can you get your rewards while minimizing the amount of stamina you use?
You have a greater chance of getting boss chips in normal, but your chance of getting junk affixes when you get equipment is fairly high. When you run VH, there's more drops in the pool to consider, but anytime you do get equips, there's a fairly good chance it has receptor on it.
Now regarding the run cost, also consider that you would probably have to ride off someone else's requests to keep the costs low - when you run H, you can probably solo it, but then it costs you 15 stm. It costs you 10 if you run N, but you can most likely solo it and get the kill reward. But also consider that a friend-requested VH run will cost you 10 stm the first time you run it too, same cost, potentially better (in my opinion) reward, but it depends on whether or not the run can be finished without you incurring any more cost.
My personal experience? I generally will just ride off requests sent my way; I can usually finish up any run when boss is at 70% or less. If it survives my encounter, someone else will have finished it off for me, so it works well in the end. If there are no requests I start one of my own, but I don't revisit it again - since the ideal situation will always be that you want to pay the cost once to get the boss kill reward, and no more than that.
