As you gain rank in Galaxy Legion you tend to look at all of the Npc defense/attack/scan/cloak modules on your ship at wonder why you have them there. Now a rank 374 I don't see a lot of usefulness in the Npc drop modules like I did when I was a wee lad. So before I go off on a tangent. My question is, over all, are they even worth it? Would it be better to just have the boring research tier modules and nothing else. Or do the Npc Modules benefit you over time?

NPC modules have some of the best attribute to deck ratios in the game as you rise in rank, and see the higher generation modules. It is definitely worth installing them, as many of them are more efficient that researched modules.
