C12, only stat that matters is damage. Stats vary a lot depending on which resources are available on your server. But with good resources you can get above 900 damage w/o powerup/unsliced (yes they can be sliced but usually not worth it if you don't get it almost free. But 850 max dam and above is decent. However, damage is not that important. It make a very little difference if the grenade is 850 or 900 and IMO not worth paying a premium price for.
I would recommend max dam pups. Remember you need 2.5 crate (x10) for each crate C12 (x25).

i'd suggest a slicer aswell to see if you can get some speed slices.
Speed sliced nades are very very nice indeed.

Thermals 1800 Max damage to start - 2200+ after powerup
Actual readings from my combat window show to-hit numbers ranging from 2200 to 3700 per Mob (meaning if I toss it at the lair with 5 aggros I will hit EACH creature with damage somewhere in that range on each grenade throw)
Figure on 1 crate of 25=a little over 100K of FS xp
Total needed for all branches will be in the neighborhood of 75 crates or so
Takes about 35 min to cap on 4 lairs not including buff time and time spent looking for a group.
Imperial dets are OK too....other grenades to me seem to be a waste of time. If you are going to do it...might as well do it right. (just my opinion, not flaming others with C12's or whatever)

From what I've learned your going to need about 70 crates of c-12's (25 per crate) and 175 crates of max damage pup's (10 per crate). Don't worry about speed it's the damage your looking for. Also don't worry about slicing grenades since a smuggler will have to unpack each and every stack ofgrenades out of a crate to slice them and it takes forever (this can get expensive if you don't have alot of creds to spend)
. If you have a WS friend ask him to use lesser resources in making the grenades. The grenades will be slightly inferior(lower damage)than those made with the "best" resources but you'll save a ton of creds.
On Bloodfin I was buying C-12's for around 25k to 30k(no WS friend)
per crate and on average 3k per crate of grenade pup's.
I hope this information if helpful and if you have any more questions post away!
