LV-N (which is as safe as any other chemical rocket); the ISP is the most important factor for interplanetary missions. It happens that the higher the ISP, the more efficient is the use of fuel in a vacuum, so the rate of consumption is relatively lower. When I'm not able to obtain the LV-N (career tech tree), the LV909 is good. Either engine is good in clusters too.
