In the beginning it is probably cheaper to just use the space station, but once you start going into Dantooine and Dathomir. Those stations will repair you only once and at just 75% "Lack of resources" or something like that. Then get some of the general repair kits. After that its up to you weather you can find repair kits cheaper or the station cheaper.
For the second part of your question when you get your ship repaired, via station or yourself doesn't matter, you will see the item degrade. Keep an eye on the hitpoints you will see them go down. Some items you will see the function go down as well. This is normal, and as a lifespan to the items. Just keep looting and looking for better, or the same item and hang on to it.

Stations drop the max armorstat of a repaired component by 1 for every 10 points repaired. If you repair less than 10 points, there is no decay, so in your 749/750 example, a station repairs back up to 750. Otherwise decimals are counted, so if you repair from 725/750, you end up at 747.5.
I may need to check out some repair kits, then. What's the decay rate on them?

When you repair at the station your level of decay is greater than if you use a repair kit made by a shipwright. The "reasoning" behind this is the space stations use "cheaper" materials. But when you repair the systems you will always suffer some decay.

So if you are near Dantooine or Dathomirand are in need of repairs, you should hyperspace to Corellia first...
That seems kinda silly to me. All of the stations should repair your damage the same way. I can't see any reason why you would want to repair at Dant or Dath then. Am I missing something?
Also, how about the repairs made by that "call repair ship" command? How do those work?

Hi there,
i am no WS and just got a strange result repairing my t21. It got a nice dmg slice and i left it drop condition to about 150. Then i repaired it. It repaired to a max damage lower than it was made with. and the repair was a 'normal' condition reduced repair. Is this intended? i allways thought weapons and armors are just dropping condition and not their other values.
thanks in advance,
ko

that's how it works.. if you want to make sure it doesnt happen again, repair it before your max dmg starts to drop, usually 25% is a good range

Once stats start to drop they can be permanent even with a minor blemish repair. you need to repair the weapon before stats start to drop.
