I think I've come up with a near-invincible hauler for autopilot AFK work. It's perhaps not what you're expecting...
[Suicide Gank-proof Abaddon] - 228,942 EHP

Obviously, this isn't going to be used for large cargos - the bay is 525m3. The point is for trading small but valuable goods like implants and blueprints. It has a large advantage from the outset in that it's a battleship, so many suicide gankers won't even scan it, assuming that it contains nothing of value. It is also T2 fitted to avoid tempting anyone with faction/officer loot.
Anyway, I reckon you could stuff this to the gunwhales with billions of ISK worth of implants and haul them from one end of high sec to the other unscathed. What do you think?

In EVE i've learned one thing above everything else: if enough people want you dead, you die, simple as that. May take a bit more DPS to pop this, but pop it will.
Edit: There is no "gank-proof" ship.
Fair point, but if no-one knows you're coming, is there really going to be a large enough gank party prepared to take you out? I mean, you need 26 Maelstroms with 9k damage alpha to oneshot this...

Uhm what.. i got no idea if this is serius or not. But that's definatly not gank proof. Those plates will give you the agility of a elephant, and you'll be as slow as a snail with those rigs... You're going to be great bait for suicideganking and real easy to catch.
Also wtf is up with mixing shield and armor tank, those LSE's are going to bring your sig radius up by alot yikes..
Gank proof... not really. Gank bait yes sir.
The point isn't to be agile or fast as you'll be AFK anyway, the point is to survive whatever the gankers can throw at you. They'll need 25+ battleships to take this out before CONCORD arrives.

You know what else has 200k+ EHP? A freighter. Are freighters immune to suicide ganks?
Seriously, if the estimated value of your drop is greater than the cost of suiciding you, you risk a suicide attack. Your snail-like AFK plated battleship will give the suicide gang plenty of time to set up.
Fair point, well then the key would be to avoid putting more than 500 million ISK worth of cargo in this. Assuming it takes 25 battleships to oneshot it and that each BS represents a loss of 10 mil after insurance, and that approximately half the cargo drops, the gankers will barely break even for a lot of hassle.
I concede that if you put more than half a billion's worth in the cargo, you might be asking for trouble.

Further to the opinions voiced since last night, I would like to revise the recommended cargo value to transport in this ship down to about 500 million ISK worth. I feel that the amount of ships required to destroy this Abaddon would make it too costly a target for suicide gankers if it were transporting less than half a billion ISK of assets.
