I find hideouts kinda badly executed feature. It has few main problems:

- base = gang
- you can't own multiple bases under 1 gang name
- you can't choose (or at least specify) the area where you want your base

Bases are not worth the money not even a little bit. You don't know what you are buying (newcomers won't know what the hell the depo is or what it offers and there is no way how to find that out ingame other than buy it or hope that some kind soul will tell you). And even when you know what you are paying for you can only guess where it will spawn. Simple thing in dialogue such as:

A: "Ah you are looking for a hideout for you and your friends eh? I might have just the right thing for ya! Recently I've discovered one nice little cave myself. Its east from here, just about 6 kilometers away. Very well hidden in mountains. Or maybe you would like something more settle, hmm?"
B: "Tell me more about the cave you've discovered."
A: " **telling price/containers/base size/position/resources info** "

And if trapper don't offer base in location that you desire you can always come back later and try if he has not discovered anything new, that might have attract you more.

Anyway its these 3 problems that cause every gang base to be the same, making the expensive ones literary worth nothing. Even with the worst base you can keep players/stuff safe, have place to craft, create gang and only real difference between bases are resources they offer. Lockers are useless since you can't put much in them and even all containers from all base types together would not supply enough room for stuff that regular gang (=5+ active members) needs for every day life.

yeah, you should be able to buy a base with specified location without having a faction. also, you should be able to form a gang without buying a base

 If you do buy a base for yourself, don't just add people, Really trust your friends. One of my longest base users, stole everything more then once, and there was no way to tell it was her, she did this for over a year. you can't trust anyone.

Explain. Nothing changed with the bunker, so everything should be there.

That's wrong, the bunker has both.  You can only mine at a few of the rock piles up front.  And with electronic parts, there's a computer to gather them in the medical area (if it were a vault) and one somewhere else.  The map should be right on wiki.
