Some cars tend to drip more water from the A/C than others. Does this mean they have more efficient systems since more moisture is being removed from the hot surrounding air?
More water drips from A/C = more efficient system?

I would think its primarily a function of the amount of relative humidity in the outside air that determines the quantity of condensation runoff.

This.

Yup. What's been said above. Also it depends on the system design. If my Mazda is on recirculate it never drips. My truck will drip even on recirculate because the accumulator is in the engine bay and it gets cold and sweats whenever the air conditioning is on.

In some systems, like window AC units, they actually use the water to cool the condenser, so it could actually be an issue if too much is dropped out...
