From a deck building perspective, I am not a big fan of Hunter and SEA Source. Hunter does not have an added value beyond the tag, and the Runner can dispose of it relatively early (as a rule of thumb, you leave a Click and two Credits when running Weyland). SEA Source is situational- it could get you the occasional game (SEA Source, Scorched Earth x2) but the odds of that happening are slim, esp. vs. a prepared Runner (Decoy or Crash Space basically nullify that combo).
If Hunter had a subroutine that said, "the runner loses 1 click and 2 credits," would you consider that a bad 4-strength sentry for 1 credit? That's how it often plays out for me. Ice Wall, for example, often plays out as "runner loses 1 credit." But I like it too, because it has early stopping power. And I love their costs, because they're easy to Chum or throw in front of more powerful ice to prevent Inside Jobs.
