This is the reason I farm at the T-node. Yes it costs me 500 fuel every attempt, which is double what I need for the S-node route, but atleast I can get there without any damage 90% of the time.

The biggest issue is that whilst the S-node has ~1.2% chance for Prinz on all possible enemy formations, the T-node only drops Prinz when there's two enemy Flagships as the 2nd and 3rd ship. But, there is a 1.38% chance to get her.

So this results in a 50% chance to get the correct enemy formation, then 1.38% chance to get her, which averages out at about 145 runs on average to get her. On the S-node this is about 80 runs. This only counts a run as getting an S-rank on the bossnode.

All in all, if you have enough buckets, it seems better to run the S-node route and hope for the best as long as you can consistantly get S-ranks on the boss.

I, on the other hand, am struggling as I've already spent about 100k on resources and about 500 buckets. So T-node offers the highest probability for me.
