What do you want to do with it?
I use mine for PVP, mostly against frigates and interceptors. This setup works well for me:
2 light ion blasters
rocket launcher (for defenders)
MWD
webby
3 micro aux power cores
400mm armor
With good skills and a nice armor mod, you can get almost 1100 armor on the thing while the launcher provides good defense against missiles. Since it's one of the faster intereptors, and it gets a tracking bonus for it's weapons, it benefits from a close range setup with high tracking turrets like the ions (or electron blasters).
I've also used a similar setup with no armor mod and a 10MN AB as a catcher for large ships. The Ares has a very low signature radius, so it's almost impossible for large guns to hit. This isn't as smart an idea anymore now with the recent drone changes...
Basically the thing about the Ares is that it's a reasonably offensive ship with stunningly good defenses. Your whole strategy for the thing should revolve around outlasting your foe.

Hi:
2 named std launchers
1 125mm railgun
mid:
1 mwd
1 web
low:
200mm armor
small armor rep II
micro aux
ballistic control
Fast, tough to kill, and decent DoT.

My salsa makes all the pretty girls want to dance and take off their underpants.

PvE
Hi: 2 rocket launchers, named neutron blaster. (Defenders in rocket launchers provides great defence against swarms of missile launching Angels particularly in the wave type missions.)
Mid: MWD, cap recharger
Lo: Armor rep, 2xCPR, Damage mod
This works well up to and including some LVL 3 missions. Biggest rat Ive done with this (Rat hunting not missions) 110k with 2x 40k escort spawn.
If you arent expecting missiles then switch 1 lancher for another blaster.
