Best bet for maximum ROI of money is to just buy bitcoins and hold for a while.  However, if you wanted to get into the mining game I would consider waiting until a new product is released.  Most of the equipment now is already bought up, atleast the worthwhile miners.  I.E. KNC has started their shipping of their November batch and will probably not create any new miners until Feb when they release gen 2.  Cointerra is still taking pre-orders on their 2TH/s machines for $6k, but many believe this is not worth it as difficulty could easily be sky high by that point.  Also, cointerra has no track record with the community, therefore you need to pre-order those miners knowing it may be possible that they "could" go out of business.  The last decent player in the market is black arrow and they have a decent record shipping FPGAs.  Although, they haven't shipped an ASIC yet they actually have shipped before and are currently taking pre-orders for March 2014.

you'll more likely ROI using faucets (http://freebitco.in/?r=78) than mining, unless you don't owe specific equipment
