Bang for your buck...[]
Each monster is listed below according to its efficiency. This is based on a cost/benefit ratio that considers the amount of money the monster earns versus the amount of food required to get it there.
This chart is for those attempting to maximize earnings while minimizing losses. Using this data, if food is tight, then you could choose to train up a more efficient monster first.
Efficiency Table[]
The first two columns list the elements that make up the monster.
The next two columns list the / min at max level (10) for normal and mythic monsters, respectively. The fifth column lists the total cost in order to get to Lvl 10. The final two columns represent the monster's resulting income rate / for normal and mythical monsters respectively, with higher numbers being a better efficiency.
To find the best monster for any given habitat, sort the list by Element 1 and find that habitat. Find the monster with the highest normal / mythical /min rating. Then sort by Element 2 and repeat. Compare those top two monsters and pick the best.
To maximize profit made while away from the game, remember that Earth, Ice, Air, Plant, and Water have the highest capacities. Find the best monster you can create for one of those.

Detailed Explanation[]
((Additional /min earned by leveling up) / (cost required to do that)) * 1000
For example:
A level 10 Earth monster earns 30 /min yet it costs a total of 1060 to get it to level 10. An Earth monster therefore has a ratio of .0283 (or 28.3, after we multiply by 1000 just to make it easier to read)
Compare this to a level 10 Fire monster that earns 81 /min with a cost of 1060 . This gives Fire monster a ratio of 76.4 which is far higher than the 28.3 for the Earth monster.
This makes sense when you consider that the Fire monster earns over twice as much per min yet requires almost half as much food. In this case, the Fire monster would be the more efficient purchase. When taken into consideration with other data like initial costs, habitat thresholds, and breeding and incubation times, one is able to make wiser monster-related decisions.
