I've heard from a couple of people that the RSF is the worst privateer to master but i haven't been able to get any details. I know they can't get the ARC but i can live with that. Could someone help me out?

You probably heard that because of the one T4 mission that puts you up against twin T4 gunboats with massive attitudes and near-unlimited missiles.
Other than that, it's cake.

Doesn't Corsec have almost the same mission? Corsec and RSF are a walk in the park, Smuggler's Alliance isn't much harder.

Corsec puts you up against a single T4 Ye-4, which is KINDA like going up against two Cast Wings.
Of course, even though the Ye-4 has more turrets, their coverages are limited. Cast Wings (aka Rebel Gunboats) are a tad more flexible with their turret coverage.

i'd still rather go up against a cast-wing then a ye-4. that blind spot is nice, the nearly non-existant one on the ye-4's though... that is unpleasant.

You gotta remember though.. you can skip the RSF one by just talking directly to the ace mission giver since its just the exit quest..
But with CorSec you HAVE to do it because its your last tier 4 mission to get your last box

No it doesn't, I mastered CorSec yesterday, the second to last mission has you team up with a T4 Ye-4 against two Cast Wings, that is the only difficult mission, it's exactly the same as RSF, but that has you going against two Cast Wings and an escort with only a few fighters on your last tier 4 mission. It's still a peice of cake though.

The main problem with RSF is that mission with the twin gunboats but also getting assistance for thier missions. RSF
strongly imperial connected so there are many mission SA and Corsec pilot can't help you with because they either can't attack your target or are fighting your target and trying to evade your RSF NPC allies. I think the reason there are 2 gunboats is the devs assume an imp pilot will be assisting you and most imp missions create a need for using Bstrike.

I'm sure i read somewhere that Storm Suadron (Imp) is the hardest one in the game to master. Wish someone had told me that before i had clawed my way to tier 4 in it. lol.

Unless RSF has start shooting police or your dumb enough to shoot them, crosec has no problem helping.

I went for RSF as it is as said above, strongly aligned with the Empire as i'm imp but cba to do Imp pilot as its harder.lol
All in all, RSF is very good

So let me get this straight: if you're rsf and have all the tier 4 boxes filled, but still have more tier four missions, you can bypass them by going to the tier five mission trainer? Will this work for any squadron in the same situation? For instance, I'm currently 4444 in havok squad, but still have at least one more tier 4 mission left. Can I bypass this by going to my tier 5 trainer? And where is the tier 5 trainer for havok located anyway?
