I've never seen these for sale in any commodity market that I can remember, including some high tech systems. Most systems have a high demand for them and lots of bulletin board requests.

My current but limited experience of the Reactive vs Mirrored dilemma:

If you have very good shields but a smaller ship, mirrored is better to go for. Your shields offer good protection against most things, but lasers will take your shields down fairly easily and leave you vulnerable to damage. A couple of Sidewinders with beam lasers almost shredded me with my massively expensive class A3 shields and reactive armour.

If you have a bigger ship, even powerful lasers won't deal very much damage to you. What you should be more worried about is projectile weapons, both because they can cause more hull damage and because they're''' much''' better at killing subsystems. Reactive will keep you safer.

Your own mileage may vary and it also totally depends whether you're going up against crappy little pirates in some very well policed system or heavily armed military or heavy duty pirates. You should pick a defence against what damages you most, or stick with basic military grade if neither is more dangerous to you than the other.

Yup. Apart from gameplay-wise it makes mining worthwhile compared to trading, in-universe you can assume its so widely used that it sells as fast as people can mine it, so you never see it on sale.

Cannons are good to supplement other weapons if you have lots of feeble gimballed stuff. A class 1 cannon it gives you a fighting chance against big ships when you're otherwise armed only with mgimballed lasers and multicannons.

Mostly against smaller ships it'll almost always miss so you'll want not to waste ammo by activating it against it; but they are suprisingly good against Cobras and Asps, especially Asps -- they make these big ships almost a breeze to take out. They show a lot of belly when you fight them and few cannon hits can take down strong shields and deal the kind of damage you'll need to do before they kill you or run away.

Cannons are also good when some dumb NPC tries to play chicken with you on a head-on attack run.

I haven't tried the fixed version yet, but due to the way cannons work, I don't see any reason why a fixed one wouldn't be any worse. You're only going to hit whatever is right in front of you or moving slowly anyway. I might give it a try later, because the increased damage could really come in handy. I get mauled against Anacondas with any pilot higher than Novice.
