Least BS, whatever BS is present is easy to avoid (hardcover is your best friend). I'd even say that collectors are the fairest enemy faction.
Reapers, Geth and Cerberus are ****.
I've always wanted to say it via a thread and so, here it is.

I feel bad for your folks on PS3 as you have trouble thoroughly enjoying the most awesome faction in the game.

Just curious, do all the equivalent factions have the same level of health and shields as each other. And what about DPS as well? Because it feels to me like the collectors have more of both.
Yes, collectors have more health and more DPS compared to other factions. Possessed units are even higher in the scale. But they have lesser BS and cheapness, which is very important.
Yes. They have the biggest heads. Easier for snipers. 
Seeker Swarms and Plagues are the only thing that annoy me about the Collectors, especially because they can sneak up on you and then: BOOM! But the Scions and Praetorians are relatively slow, and hardcover can save your life against them. The Collectors Captains are some of my favorite enemies in the game; they just have a lot of DPS, melee strength, and they're quite clever. Wave 4 of Collectors Platinum can be very challenging, for that reason.
Geth Gold isn't bad at all, they're slow, predictable and most of them have to be in close range to do any significant damage.
Reapers are just super annoying, leave me alone Banshee! I don't want your fisting!
Cerberus is just a nightmare for me because I have the hdmi black screen messing up my vision. You'll be surprised how horrible a 1 sec obstruction can be.
In fact, today I tried to vault over a Phantom because I thought she was cover.
...I miss my Geth Scanner.
What are you talking about ?
Of course they are the best, cause you don't have to prepare for them, ie. don't need something like something to trivialize Phantoms (like Scropion, Acolyte, Dark Channel), or Geth (Geth Scanner), or Banshees (high enough dps setup or team). Just awesome fair challenge that anything can handle well enough if you play more smart.
What are you talking about ?
I have to say, I enjoy playing against collectors. It really is a pity that they are so terrible on ps3 but I find them fun 
something with my conversion to HD, to record my gameplay.
A flash of a black screen disrupts my vision, it doesn't show it on recording however. It has to do with my tv or the cable to my TV or something.
it can be anywhere from it being very rare, like only 3 times in a few hours. or it can be every 30 seconds, 10 seconds and sometimes even 5 seconds apart from each other.
this was when it was really really bad, 30 second long blackout with only a split second of vision.
That's what I thought, It's a common issue with the Elgato capture cards (I don't know about others brands). Start your recording software each time you play, and your problem will be solved.

Oh, I figured something like that. So that's what that is. Lucky I only get it once in a few days for like a 3 to 5 seconds. Any ideas how to make this issue go away?
But, I like fighting on host Cerberus 
I do enjoy the creativity it takes to fight phantoms on host but you're just crazy redBut, I like fighting on host Cerberus
As someone who mostly plays PUGs (on PS3!!) I can confirm that Collectors ARE the best.

j/k, I love collectors and I fully agree with you.
Let's put it this way: Collectors punish impatience and sloppy gameplay more severely than other factions do. Hence I hate them.
I can deal with Phantom/Dragoon BS (I actually enjoy the crazy Dragoon spam on W11 Cerberus Platinum), I can deal with Geth (though they make me rage sometimes), I can easily deal with Reapers. But I do hate it when I am downed 4 times in a row by the same Captain or a buttlazer through a wall or something. Collectors make me feel like I am playing off-host even when I am hosting.
I'm always confused about what exactly is considered BS in this game. Is it related to ennemies' abilities working as intended (like Banshees teleporting through walls) or bugs (like Phantoms' on-host DR) ? Some assumptions :
- Reapers : as I said, Banshees teleporting through walls, or grabbing you from 15 meters away in laggy games ?
- Cerberus : Atlases' magic rockets I guess, phantoms on-host DR.
- Geth : stagger abilities (but we can stagger ennemies, so why they shouldn't be able to do it too ?), Primes' super accuracy (but hey, they are robots).
- Collectors : Praetorians' lazors penetrating cover, ignoring shield gate or fired from the back ? Sometimes, I'm also wondering how Scions can have so many grenades...
So, it seems to me that each faction has an equal amount of BS. However, I admit that Collectors have an advantage : they are the hardest to trivialize.
