the general consensus is that certian hives are worse to start in than others. And i'd agree, but i think it is only that these particular hives are worse to start in because of current marine tactics - JP rushes and hive relocations being the most popular, so the hives that fare worse for these attacks are the ones that are out of favour amongst aliens.
I dont feel that any hive gives you a real disadvantage in any game (except powersilo, which is a really really sucky hive to defend.) i think it all biols down to the marine tactics at the moment, which tend to be pretty stagnant. I think the whole strategy/tactics game is going to change with 1.1 and infact more and more commanders are trying out different stratgeies with the JP rush being so easy its boring, even for marines. Infact there are even some admins out there who will kick comms who lame like that.
