I will look into the Ishtar. What are your thoughts on the Myrm for the full-combat ones?
(I'm a fan of drone boats in general and the Myrm will be in easy reach if I already have the drone skills and Gallente Cruiser skills from flying the Vexor/Ishtar)
Vexor can do DED 4/10s, for 5/10 and 6/10s you'll probably want the Myrm or Ishtar. Myrm is the most forgiving out of these due to it's solid tank, Ishtar is fastest due to dps, and Vexor easily the most isk efficient in case you get popped. Vexor is a bit more agile than Myrm, which might make a difference between getting caught and surviving. In any case learning to mitigate damage with your movement, controlling range with webs, overheating stuff and managing the active tank while chewing thru the rats efficiently will certainly make you a better pilot in any ship. As opposed to overtanking and just plowing thru them slowly... and it's super fun 
You should fit for maximum dps, minimum tank you can handle in order to clear the sites faster. As few cap modules/rigs as possible, which means a cap booster and efficient cap management.
Ishtar isn't really better until you get tech 2 sentries or heavies, along with perfect fitting skills and other core skills.

Counting on your ship to able to defend against attackers is not a valid strategy imho. The things you need to learn to survive can be learnt in any ship, I'd go cheaper for starters. Situational awareness, dscan, local intel, site mechanics, dangerous ships etc are far more important than what you are flying.

I've only done three Minor Annexes, one Blood and two Serps, and maybe I've been doing them wrong (I don't read walk-throughs), but I found them very challenging sites for some reason.
