For a compeltely 100% noob friendly race for pvp. I would say caldari. It doesn't take a lot of SP to get into and missiles are very noob friendly. You don't have to worry about optimal ranges or transversal or orbiting too much. Just click and press f1 until you get the hang of pvp. But here is a race breakdown:
Amarr: Amazing gun range, amazing tanks, best BS's hands down. very vulnerable to neuts
Gallente: highest dps ships, drone boats. gimp gun range and easily kitable. best frigates.
minmatar: generally a "chase me chase me" race with a few exceptions. fight in falloff and kite. battleships getting buffed in dominion. Rupture is arguably the best solo t1 pvp ship other than the vexor.
caldari:like I said, missiles are noob friendly. not that strong in solo pvp. good group ships however. Haryp isn't bad.
take your pick. every race has its strengths and weakness. In the long run I would say Amarr is the best race BC and up simply because of thier gun range. Their t2 frigates and t1 cruisers blow. Just stay away from neuts.
Caldari doesn't need to worry about transversal velocity, tracking or winning fights.
Go anything but Caldari. The main ships you're going to really care about for PVP are battlecruisers, battleships, ceptors, hacs and recons (and hictors and dictors in 0.0). AFs are nice but overrated, SB's are nice but all more or less decently good at what they do. At the moment ironically enough (gotta love CCP's grasp of balance), Amarr have a ship that arguably wins many/most of these categories between the harbinger, geddon/apoc, crusader, zealot and curse/pilgrim. Minmatar and Gallente aren't too far behind with the hurricane, vagabond, ishtar, dominix, taranis, stiletto, etc at their disposals. Basically, anything besides Caldari is fine. All of their ships that are any good are extremely niche excepting the crow, rokh and drake. Their bs line falls short because they have no armor tanking battleships and the only 'fearful' ships they have are ones that pack ewar, which means you get to be the sacrificial lamb in every fight.
You forgot about T1 frigates, T1 cruisers, destroyers, stealth bombers, covert ops, and logistics. Oh and AF are fine. Don't forget about dreads, titans, and carriers.
Oh and for caldari pvp ships you have drake, harpy, manticore, blackbird, caracal, cerberus, onyx, flycatcher, crow, and falcon. All of which I see very regularly in 0.0 and do their jobs quite well.
You're right about lacking an armor tanking BS, that is their main downfall in pvp really. But it roaming gangs caldari ships are fine.
