I disregard the number of gilded chests dropping because you can never have enough silver keys to open them all while also assisting allies. That being said, I believe 2 metal chests + 2 silver keys is the maximum you can get from a spirit run. On average it is more like 1 chest + 1 key.

6 metal chests + 6 silver keys is the maximum I got from a heaven run. On average it is ~ 3 chests and 3 keys. This works out for spirit runs to be ~10% more productive per equal amount of stamina. But takes almost 3 times longer than to do 3 spirit runs compared to 1 heaven run.

Time is of the essence when you're gunning for 1st place as a free player during golden cycles. It is just as much of a critical resource as stamina. I had to score nearly 180k points in the first golden cycle to attain 1st. A big chunk of that 180k came from using silver keys. I only used gold keys during the final 5 minute dash to edge out no.2 by 6k points. If I did spirit runs instead, I estimate I would be able to score no more than 100k points.
