to make money with artifice, try and sell augmented lightsabers, on average you can get around 200k per saber. and with synthweaving i guess augmented war hero armour would work nicely, not sure how much it sells for exactly but its pretty high, also selling the materials from treasure hunting and diplomacy that are artifact grade (purple) can be fairly profitable, i cant speak for Giradda the hutt server but on my server they sell pretty quickly

yeah i have a commando and im finding it pretty interesting...the JEDI on the otherhand is just plain and based on "save the day and destroy all evil" while the sith are full or assassinations and political plotting, my assassin kills more sith then jedi

inquisitor consular warrior knight i played through inq and con and both were great...inq was way better for me though. i chose warrior over knight just cuz i like being evil and an unstoppable force... but in the end its up to you, play through all 4 til like level 20 and then choose

ive played through most of the stories, consular story was fair but not that good, inquisitor story was great but got stale after i hit level 20... trooper was great and agent was epic....smuggler looks cool but for me it was average.
