Currently I am flying a Brutix, have a Drake in the hangar, and can use both Caldari and Gallente Battleships.
I am just looking for a cheap high dps setup that will allow me to kill people before the gate guns are able to do too much damage to me. Is a Brutix able to tank the sentrys? Drake doesn't do enough DPS in my opinion even though it can tank a bit better. Or should I just go with a Myrmidon? I plan to kill ships up to and including battlecruisers.
I spend most of my time in 0.1 and 0.2 systems, but also have 0.0 less then 2 jumps away.

HAM drake is an amazing ship. Buffer tank it and you are sitting pretty.
For gallente, the Myrmidon will tank the gate guns easily with dual reps, the Brutix probably can too, but you will need to sacrifice low slots to tank and lose damage.

HAM drake or a rep myrm will probably do fine. You don't want to sit on the gate permanently in a BC (guns do ~350 DPS), so buffer will work as well.

Another +1 for the HAM Drake if you have the Missile skills for it.

I'm unsure of this, but cant find info about if in a 0.1 system, are there sentrys all over space or just at the gates? So could I go around killing people without worry as long as I am not near a gate?
As for missiles, I currently use tech 2 heavies, but haven't trained up HAMs. I just want a disposable, non-rigged, high dps gank ship for some low sec fun.

Sentries are on stations and gates, but not belts or planets.
And its best to have HAMs but HML can work ok and its nice to have the range.

I would say:
1. HAM Drake
2. Harbinger
3. Hurricane
4. Myrmidon
5. Brutix
6. HML Drake
7. Ferox(either blaster or ham)
8. Projectile Prophecy
9. Cyclone
Beyond that... doubt there is anything worth even mentioning.
Parrots, commence!

Thing is that you don't need a lot of DPS to pop haulers on gates, however you'll need at least 2 points since usually they'll have no stabs or just one. I guess you could use a Myrmidon like a cheap Phobos for this purpose. Heavy Neutrons w/ null, MWD, 2x 24k point, 2x sebo II, single rep + plate.

Drake. It is the best for that job by far. Just replace Shield Power Relays with BCU II (+a damage control) and fit a 24km Disruptor (maybe 2 if you want to catch Haulers with a stab) and a MWD. Damage is fine, range is fine, can tank sentries long enough to kill something and leave.
