good luck in your plans. Ive been thinking about doing the same but im tied to all my ****. my recomendation is.. bring hull and armor repairers with you, it will save you a lot of money in repairs. Just be carefull when you repair your ship :)
If the alliance your corp is in is even halfway decent, repairing in station won't cost anything.

i would highly recommend a pet alliance
No.
Pet alliances are literally the s****of New Eden. Nobody respects them, they're full of farmers and it is unlikely that any newbie will get adequate training.
Join either a major alliance or a smaller alliance that will help you learn the ropes in npc space. If the corp/alliance pays rent to anyone, forget about joining. It's not worth your time.
Also, checking corps/alliances on evemaps.dotlan.org and comparing their membership graphs is a very good indicator of stability. The flatter the graphs the better. If there are huge fluctuations, chances are the corp/alliance sucks.

I hate to just come down on the side of one nullsec block, but you'd do far worse as a newb than to join any of the NC pet alliances (and actually -- and this is a salient point, it's possible to get into the "lead" alliances of the NC as a newb if you play your cards right). Later on you can join a super leet AWSSUM non-NC PVP alliance of awesome. I'd love to be proven wrong on this point though. Can anyone else point out nullsec entities which both
1. Accept new <5mil sp players
2. Have zero "required" activities and low taxes?
If I were to choose again between elitist douchebags in the south and all around pleasant people in the north, I know what I'd take.
When I joined Morsus Mihi I barely had a few mil sp and only a bit of experience in fleet warfare. A year and three campaigns later things looked a tiny bit different.
I wrote it earlier and will do it again: If you want to join some irrelevant ****ty pet, prepare to have a thoroughly miserable experience unless farming all day is what you want. Location doesn't matter; the capable people in your corp will be syphoned away by your landlords no matter in which part of the galaxy you're farming.
By the way, I'd stay as far away as possible from any corp or alliance that loudly proclaims to be all about elite spaceship pvp. They are usually littered with extremely annoying people with no cohesion beyond their killboard link.

Yes, and often even get a few free ships on top, plus pretty good training considering the much greater pool of active fcs shared between alliances and timezones compared to smaller entities.
