I'd honestly say North is where I'd go if my goal was to exp and have a chance at a bit of loot. The Sepulcher Spectre can drop the Adamantite Club which is easily the most valuable drop in North - think it's probably still a 3k item(?). While grinding through 54-57 I think I got like 3 or 4 clubs on my shaman, soloing. Each of the named in North (with the possible exception of Crypt Keeper but I'm not sure) can also (rarely) drop 55-58 spells. I've only ever gotten one to drop though (Talisman of the Snake, booo), but you could potentially get a Bedlam or whatever.

Other than that I don't think HS is really THAT great of a money spot if your main goal is to level. I guess get a group in South and you can get good drops but if your plan is to solo I wouldn't risk messing about in South until probably 58+ (Tecmos could weigh in better here) and if you haven't corpsed keys (something I can never be arsed to do) then a CR in South is much more of a pain in the ass than a CR in North.

Edit: I guess CR'ing doesn't have to be made into that dramatic a thing. If you can get a rogue to pick lock it or whatever. But I like being self-reliant and when I'm really exp'ing in North I will have my 60 necro camped out and if I die I can just log him on and solo a sperm for a key and run in and drag.
