There is no best battleship. And *all* of the ones you have mentioned have very different uses and styles of play. Go with either the race you currently fly, or the one that appeals the most in terms of the way it's used or, if you're into rp'ing etc, the race you fancy flying the most .

Armageddon - Best damage dealer, looks best imho Scorpion - Excellent PVPer, much valued in fleet battles Dominix - Probably the best miner of the group, thanks to its immense drone bay. Also probably best anti-frigate, again due to the drones. Typhoon - Someone else will have to take this one - I've never flown one and I don't think I've ever fought one either.

Scorpion is one of the best EW plattform and a tough shieldtanker. The Dmg is that tiny, that you cant hurt anything bigger than a cruiser.
Armageddon is the best lvl 1 BS imo. You can tank it very well and it can dish out the most dmg of all lvl 1 BS.
Typhoon isnt avarage in all, but lacks in turret imo.
Dominix is the worst BS imo, regardless of its purpose, with the worst BS-Bonus.
I would go for a Geddon, if you have the skills. _____________________________________ Dead or Alive

You can't really go wrong with a Scorpion if your closer to it skill wise. Its not good at a lot of things but its really good at what it does. Its possibly the best Deep Core Mining ship and its a capable, albeit costly to supply missiles, NPC hunter. Its tied with the Typhoon as being the most resilient wingman in the game for lvl 4 agent kill missions and is an asset in Lvl 4 deadspace missions. Its also one nasty PvP ship.
The Typhoon you need to stay away from if your not going to be a dedicated minmatar ship user. Its more versatile than the scorpion. It looks like a true battleship. Its got drones that a gallente would appreciate.
The Armageddon is just nasty. Its good at mining, its good at PvP, its good at NPC. It looks cool, in a bronze ***** sort of way, and it too has drones you will like. Tho I would only recommend it if you are going to train support skills for engineering it needs dearly.
The Dominix is a nasty ship. It is similar to the Tempest in that its a jack of all trades ships. If NPC hunting and deep mining is your thing than look no further. If you can fly a thorax and not interested in PvP as much than get a domi. If your into PvP but don't want to be the eWar role... then get a domi.
You really can't go wrong with any of the tier 1 battleships. -----

I love the phoon, it's so under estimated.
Although if you only have 70 mill go mine some more, your going to need insurance. _________________________________________________________

Yes the phoon is arguably the best teir 1 BS and is better in many cases than teir 2s. However, to take advantage of it you need a lot of skills... 4-5million minimum and I do mean minimum. Projectiles are bunk but they will get better. Its a great Heavy Beam platform and megapulse platform... yet you need not only teh 4-5mil sp to use the phoon but then you need the right laser and laser support skills on top of that and enuff t2 or named mods to use em effectively. Thus, you need to make a decision on what race you want to go with and stick to it. IMHO the minmatar ships are the best overall. There are standouts in the other races but overall each other race lack where minmatar is more of a buffet race.... something for everyone.
The biggest difference to me between flying Scorp or Typhoon is Speed vs Tankability. Sometimes, such as lvl 4 agent mish, a Scorpion just isn't fast enuff and the speed of the phoon will show its prowess. Nav/AB/acceleration control/evasive man 5 are all skills any phoon lover should have so that with a 100mn T2 AB you will see space superiority. As you can see... the phoon needs high skills like I have suggested. -----

hi skills in: nav (zOMG BS GOING AT 500m/s WITH AB!!1), spaceship command, gunnery (dual 425's are good, but they eat a lot of ammo), missiles (specially torps.. 'phoons excel in short range and lvl4 at torps is a must have) engeneering (energy emission specially... gotta wub vampire 'phoons), electronics (althou the 'phoon has a nice cpu for a tier1, still it has a very short targeting range) drone skills (be the guy with 10 drones!).
with that you have a BS that is capable of: short range engagements, sniping (range bonus), hell of a tanker (7 lows), damn fast ship (indeed it is fast, for it's size) and one of the most all-round ships capable of going at a multidude of roles, except shield tanking and mining
oh and keep a L <insert favourite L proj ammo bpo here> near you all the times. -------------------

Phoon has 3500 drone space is 14 heavy drones
hehe im working on getting my first bs and its gonna be a phoon mainly cause i like minmatar ships. as stated they are considered the joke among starships tho i have found the minmatar ships i have flown to be most impressive even legendary. (i was told doing the "silence the informer" mission in a destroyer was suicide after i finished it in a destroyer)
As for phoon setup im still working on that but skills are needed considering the cpu/pg on it and the average module requirement

It really does depend on what you are going to use it for, and what your playstyle is.
Dominix - Tanker, good drones for support, and fun to npc or do missions with. If you on a budget i would suggest the Domi.. at a manufacturing price of around 56mil, and the vesitility to use shield tanking, armor tanking, EW or the stupid amount of drones it can use really does mena you can change your setup to suit pretty much any suitation and do it very well.

The Domi is probably the most underestimated battleship in the game. It can do some weird and wonderful things.
Too bad it's so ugly... (although it has arguably the best skin)
Also, it's the last thing that gets targetted in fleet battles. You'll appreciate that if you've gone into battle in an Arma or Scorp.

I had an apoc and lost it to pirates :(
so I am looking at a geddon now just because that 100mil dent of debt in my wallet hurt.
I saw someone posted once a good solo mining setupfor a geddon but I cant find it (hehe well I do have to pay it off)

geddon is more of a swiss army knife for your first ship. Mining, npc, pvp etc Scorp is a bit more restrictive.

Sorry, but that is crap.
The armageddon is clearly the best of the tier 1's. Considering that you are inexperienced and likely to be lacking the skills needed for typhoon and dominix to function well. Scorpion is nice yes, but they die faster then a fly on a barbeque.
A good geddon melts any other battleship before it even has a lock. A scorpion can't kill a tosti. If you like jamming people in lame fleetbattles at 150km range and not appearing on any killmails go ahead and get a scorp. _______________________________________________

Scorp; PvP/Support BS
Typhoon; PvP/NPC/Missions/Wingman
Arma; PvP (dont count on suviving for long tho if ur apponent gets a good hit on ya : P
Dominix; Mining/NPC and hey, I¦d even take it into PvP. with the skills maxed out you could use 15 drones, thats hella lot of extra damage :] The Dom has been a little underestimated
I wanna go into Tier 2 BS¦s but thats not the topis of this tread :)
