Just now getting back into Elite again, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the current best ring mining location and what to mine? I see Borran no-longer has its over lapping low-temp diamond spot

Welcome back!
As always you can check sell prices here:
https://inara.cz/commodities/
I will try to fill some changes since introduction of tritium and reshuffling of hotspots.
Current meta commodities
For laser mining - platinum, followed by painite
For core mining - Musgravite and Monazite(void opals and LTD do not have high demand nowadays)
There is a change on how station pay for commodities. With the introduction of demand, the station will pay you less if you have in your cargo more than 10-20% of station's demand.
Example:
Station A buys platinum for 280k and have a demand of 100t. Station B buys same commodity for 260k but have demand of 5000t demand. Let's say you have a cutter with 512t platinum. If you go to station A with full cargo you will get significant cut on the offered price (probably something less than 200k per ton) while station B will offer price closer to max if not max. In order for station A to pay max price you will need to dock with just 10-20t in ship's cargo.
Exception of this rule are Fleet Carriers. Their prices are fixed and once the demand is met they no longer buy.
As for where to mine:
https://edtools.cc/miner still works.
If you decide what mining you want to do and still cannot figure where, just send me DM and I will give you my favorite location.
P.S. That question would get a higher audience if you posted it into Game talk

Typical FDev grind mechanic. "Oh, you want to get paid full price? Bring us the commodity in multiple small quantities!"

Applying grind is far easier way than developing a meaningful game mechanic that will engage and reward the player.
But then we live in a time where MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is a major trend in all aspects of business.
