Ah, but can Rogues or other pirate factions fly there without getting harassed by Bounty Hunters on the entire trip, whether carrying contraband or not?

Smugglers can. If they haven't been caught, they aren't criminals and they don't have bounties - unlike the Rogues, the Hackers, the Outcasts, or any other faction. You carry a Rogue ID, you are a criminal. You carry a smuggler ID, you could be a criminal (but you have no bounty if you haven't been caught.) Carrying a Smuggler ID means you're not restricted by the diplomacy of other factions, and you aren't necessarily going to have all their enemies after your defenseless Advanced Train. As a sacrifice, you have less cargo.

Less potential profit, but less risk.
