I have a nighthawk and am doing some low sec pvp. I fly a drake for pvp and use the nighthawk as an uber l4 mission runner. The reason for this is I can't fly a vulture and I cannot get a viable pvp fit. I either can fit for some DPS/tank without a gang link or point, or I have to forego DPS with PG modules (8 days required still to use reactor IIs  ) to try and keep some tank.
Now I won't say that either of these are perfect setups (just some quick EFT tests)

While the DPS on the Vulture is pretty low, it has a lot of shields (buffer) and can rep back up. The tank becomes MUCH more once you apply boosting. The net result is a very limited benefit in using the nighthawk over a drake, while the vulture IMHO is better in a small gang as it has a better chance of tanking if called primary while your fleet start killing the other sides ships...
Now if I use this setup (with boosting and all l5)

I get less DPS, but more EHP and a much cheaper outlay due to ship cost
Something is definately not right here...
