Episodes 5 and 6 contain 5 out of the 6 best-in-slot weapons, vehicles, and armor, so choose between Mafiya and Vory carefully! For information on loot requirements, see the Job List post.

In episode 5, if you pick Vory, your Chapter 2 will look like this:
If you choose Mafiya, it will look like this:
Note: Please be aware that the Vory screenshot is only 2nd level of mastery while the Mafiya screenshot is the third level of mastery. As a result, the Mafiya screenshot shows a higher item requirement.

Loot Differences:

Konstantin Cargo Carrier is Vory OnlyHit a Vory Nightclub (Mafiya only) drops:
Zmeya Carbon Blade is Mafiya OnlyPicking Your Side:
There are two viable options here, and which option you pick depends on your playstyle. In Episode 6, the best defensive weapon in game is Mafiya only, while the best defensive vehicle in game is Vory only. As a result, you will have to pick which one is more important to you. If you are a perfectionist and plan on trading (either with other players or a second account) to get 501 of the fully optimal set, I would recommend a different path from someone who does not want to trade for items.
Perfectionist Path:
The perfectionist should pick Vory in Episode 5 and Mafiya in Episode 6. You will have access to the Ubijca Assault Rifle (best offensive weapon) and the best defensive weapon (Zmeya Carbon Blade). You will have to trade for the Konstantin Cargo Carrier (Mafiya only, episode 6).
Alternatively (thanks to the contributor!) you can do both. Pick Vory for Episode 5, and as you are working through episode 6, stop before your second level of mastery on either side. Collect 500 Zmeya Carbon Blades or 500 Konstantin Cargo Carriers, then master the tier. As you go through the third time, pick the other side. This way, you can get them all without trading. The only downside is the items have a very low drop rate (no 10% bonus), so it will take you awhile. Makes the lotto collection look a lot better!
Path of Least Resistance:
If you do not want to do any trading to collect your set, I would recommend the opposite path - Mafiya in Episode 5 and Vory in Episode 6. Why?
Well, the Kylk-9 Machine Pistol is only 1 defense point less than the Zmeya Carbon Blade - not a big deal. Collect those from episode 5 instead of from episode 6. The Ubijca Assault Rifle is only a 1 attack upgrade over TNT and Canonazos, also not a great upgrade. You can get the Konstantin Cargo Carrier which is a 2 defense upgrade over armored state cars.
With this path, you do not need to worry about collecting replacing your TNT, which will save you time and energy. The Konstantine Cargo Carrier, with +2 defense, is a bigger upgrade and is just a better use of your time. By opting for this order, you do not need to collect an additional 500 items that the perfectionist would (assuming you already have TNT or Canonazos).
Conclusion
If you are the type of person that must have the optimal set (I am), master Vory in Episode 5, Mafiya in episode 6, and trade for the Konstantin Cargo Carriers. If you do not want to go out of your way and trade and already have 500 TNT or Canonazo, master Mafiya in Episode 5 and Vory in Episode 6. This way, you will save a bit of time and not need to upgrade your weapons.
