To the original post:
(This all depends on your skills, higher skills you can zoom through 90% of missions with an AF)
Level 1: Ishkur/Enyo
Level 2: Ishkur/Enyo
Level 3: Vexor/Ishtar, Myrm
Level 4: Ishtar/Domi, Hyperion (not as fun though)
Kronos is decent enough for L4s, I had quite the fun with it for a while.
Wormholes: Ishtar/Domi, or Proteus. All are pretty painful, but doable.
For Solo PvP? Assuming you can get one...
Afterburn AFs (both) work very well. High damage for a frigate platform on both ships. The Ares and Ranis both work very well to snag non-minmatar ships, two top tier Dogfighting interceptors. Not very common nowadays, but worth it when the situation arises.
If you're in the mood for ganking Mission runners/PvE ships, AND have the skills/practice, Arazu/Lach both still work. No where near the old levels (Your engagement envelope with Sensor damps is very low, aprox 5-10km "green range", compared to 20-25km pre-nerf.) {Err, Engagement envelope is the range you damp them down compared to your point/weapon range. So if they get damped to 10km lock range, and your scram is 15, you have a 5km Envelope to stay in.) But, the tactic still works for highly skilled (real skills, not Skill points) pilots.
Solo Neut Domi is still an awesome sight to behold.
The Proteus is also very adept at solo/small gang work, works very similar to a Deimos, but with a higher EHP, meaning you get a chance to shoot them before you blow up ;)
The evergreen Ishtar also works quite well, even with the Nos nerf, you can still cause some serious damage with a local-rep nosing/ab Ishtar if they're unprepared for it.
-----------
The Navy domi is "sorta" worth it. It does the same effective DPS (drones) as its normal counterpart, but the extra Mid slot may be worth it for some situations. 99% of the time I personally dual-rep my mission Domis, so the extra slot means ECCM/Drone mod, or dropping a CCC for a sentry damage rig. It can also mean dropping the CPR in the low for an extra armor resist. I haven't run any missions in a domi since the changes to NPC ecm, but I assume the extra ECCM might be worth it, I honestly don't know. But, an extra slot is an extra slot. (also the additional armor hp can come in handy for those, "oops wrong resists" moments ;)
---------
The Navy Vexor is fun, but overpriced for what it is.. an Ishtar with 1 less heavy drone, and T1 resists, Mine is fully "Federation Navy"'d out, purely for Vanitys sake.
