With the sheer amount of players, regardless of zone fates are being done in a fairly quick manner so really any location is a good location as long as the population is there.
True, I admittedly exaggerated when I was saying they were terribly inefficient.
As long as you're having fun and zones are bustling, any area will suffice.

I just want to offer advice and state that the Hinterlands is definitely optimal for HW for those who wish to maximize efficiency.

The fates in the Lochs will definitely melt the fastest in SB, but I suppose it's debatable if it's more efficient overall than the Steppe due to the relative ease of traversal for the latter compared to the former.
