I think Defense or Interception makes sense for a Rotation A reward (Lith, Meso, Neo), but the Axi relic drop tables for an Excavation mission like Hieracon, Pluto, make more sense for farming Axi relics.

According to http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Excavation and http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Excavation/Rewards, you have a 6.67% chance of getting a Neo S5 relic every third drill, and a 7% chance at an Axi E1 relic every fourth drill.

So, you can play 20 waves of a Defense mission and get 1 chance at an Axi relic, or you can play through 12 excavators on an Excavation mission and get three chances (though a slightly smaller chance) at an Axi relic.

I'd rather roll the dice more often, I guess.
