If you had to pick just one damage type to use in PvP as sort of general, I-have-no-idea-what-I'll-run-into ammo?

Then pickup whatever you have bonuses for.
Eg. drake gets bonus to kinetic damage, so first choice should be kinetic missiles.

Well, I left it vague on purpose...I mean, I know if I'm in a Caracal (or something else with specific damage-type bonuses) I should pretty much use what it's bonused for.
For the sake of argument, let's say I'm flying a Rupture.

Well, the noob part in the title suggested that this wasn't so obvious choice.
As for the Rupture... again I'd go with whatever I do the most damage with, which would be EMP or Phased Plasma for T1.
As for T2, Barrage is 3rd on the max damage chart, but it has nice falloff bonus. Hail seems to be useful on larger targets, kind of in your face dps.
There are situtations when changing ammo will kill your target faster (eg. having EMP loaded and running into Munin, or being kited of out EMP/PP range), but usually it doesn't justify 10 sec reload.
tl;dr
So to answer your question: I'd go with EMP/PP or Barrage/Hail.

Time you check out the new values that came with the expansion.

I believe thermal is just barely the best all around blind damage type. At least for t1, and the fact a lot of people fly ammar. EM for shields, Explosive for Armour, kinetic is another all around. Also typically the different kinds of ammo and other values help dictate what to run. As does FW if your in it (aim for the weak resists of the enemy fleet type).

This^ Covers 3 of the 4 damage types and gives decent range on the lasers.
I suppose this must be my sig. I'll do something cool with it eventually. |

as of right now ur best option would be Fusion (hi dmg exp since dominion) due to the prevalence of armor tanks and their explosive resist hole on T1 hulls. This is what you'll meet most of TBH.
Have EMP in cargo for shield tankers such as drakes and other caldari boats. It gets a bit more complicated with T2 hulls but they are less frequent so don't worry about it. Carry Barrage when you get T2 guns for rangier fights.
