You would get more helpful advice if you specified what class of ship you're interested in flying and your skill focus. That being said if you're just wanting to get into PvP I'd recommend a frigate as they are cheap to lose and have a wide engagement range. Here's 2 great easy to fly, reliable ships (I assume this is lowsec therefore AB, you want MWD for null sec to burn out of bubbles/get back to gates).
If you're more skilled into hybrid use this:
[Merlin, PvP]
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core II
Damage Control II
1MN Afterburner II
Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Medium Shield Extender II
Light Neutron Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S
Light Neutron Blaster II, Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge S

Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Small Core Defense Field Extender I

If you're more into missiles use this:
[Kestrel, PvP]
Damage Control II
Ballistic Control System II
1MN Afterburner II
Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Medium Shield Extender II
Rocket Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Rocket
Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Small Core Defense Field Extender I
Small Core Defense Field Extender I
If you have good skills in both I'd personally use the Merlin. |

I remember when these words didn't belong together in the same sentence 
I quite like Condor brawlers right now - very easy to fit for even low skill characters, easy to fly (orbit close, overheat AB if needed, pulse tank as needed, you can perma-run the neut) and there are so many kite-fit ones out there people often come right to you.

All the three above are great and feared... especially to double damp Condor is hated by everyone!
Once you have made your first steps into Caldari PVP you should definatelly also try out the Caldari Navy Hookbill. 5 Medium slots give you a lot of space for e-war, tank, dual-prop... whatever you prefer most. Be creative, the Hookbill is one of the most flexible ships and you will easily find a new, useful and suprising setup.
Most important for successful PVP is (especially if you go solo):
a) You need to know exactly what your ship is capable for and what not. (Brawler, Kiter, etc.)
b) You need to know what enemy ships are enemies which allow you to use your strengths and which not. Engage solo only thise which are matching your capabilities.
c) Learn to smell the blob.
d) Luck, don't forget to pray befor you go  |

The problem with the Hookbill is actually getting a fight. People who are knowledgable know that a Hookbill has quite a large engagement envelope - but I do love it.
The brawler fits listed are good fits, but will die often as not to anyone who know what they are doing.

The resistances on that Heron fit (54/68/82/56) when coupled with the booster really make it shine. Relatively quick and people will just come right at it expecting, "Meh, easy Heron kill"..... LOL, suckers! |

I've never seen Caldari be actually bad at solo PVP. The Drake has always been the best BC for it and I felt completely comfortable taking out 5 Ogre Nos Myrmidons back when that was all the rage. That said, my favorite Caldari solo ship is the Harpy, and my next favorite is the Condor. I've lost many of both - feel free to examine my KB losses.

Course, I assume you meant "mediocre" and not actually "medicor".
Medicor is a Cardiology group in the US ... oh, maybe you meant Heart Stopping fits!

Umm Did everyone forget about the Drake and the Tengu or is it just me.
The drake is one of the best PvP solo and gang ships around.
Just a though.
My vote is for the drake which is awesome
and lets not forget the TENGU!!! |

The Drake is, to be sure a great ship, but I have come to prefer the speed and versatility of the Cyclone over it TBH.
The Tengu has its uses, but is pretty clostly for most players - frigs are easy and cheap ....

Not too mainstream, too costly ... another big plus to the Cyclone is that it starts out 20 million less than a Drake and is a fantastic PVP ship. |

I would think the Blackbird would be a great ship to float around solo with as well. The DPS isn't anything to necessarily write home about but the amount of crap you can shove in it's mid slots lets you do so much with it. |

Pretty much all caldari ships are good bar the hacs/recons. Best ships for solo pvp is by far a 100mn tengu. |

The Drake is probably better for true solo, just because you evoke less of a response from the natives.

I've seen a handful of RML Caracals floating around. Their rainbow bonus and applied DPS gives you a pretty wide engagement range, and you've got plenty of options for mids. |

Ham Drakes are awesome, Merlins are awesome, Blarpys are awesome, in fact Calamari have very decent pvp ships now, always tanky and enough dps to do the job.

Then your not very bright.
Caldari are in a pretty good place right now, the Kestrel, Condor and Merlin are all very strong, the Blarpy and Hawk as well.
HAM and HML Drakes are still popular and effective, the Caracal and Moa as well.
The T2 lineup is where Caldari ships start to loose out, the Cerb and Eagle are worst in class, however the T2 balance is yet to come along so we see what that has to bring, the Falcon and Rook are, well, ECM boats. The Onyx is a HIC, it bubbles things so its fine.
The Basilisk is the only stand out of the T2 Caldari, its amazing, amazing rep power and Cap, definitely worth training for.
Then of course the Tengu, which is amazing. |

RML Caracal is awesome, decent dps/ speed/ tank. If you're going to fight in 0.0 I suggest you fit ECCM, cause no matter if you're going to fight outnumbered most of the times, the other guys want to be 100% certain that no harm is done to them and they will bring Falcons if possible. |

merlin, kestre, moa, caracal, ferox and drake are all good choice for solo pvp just pick youf fighting style missile or guns, ASB or buffer and find some good fits.
my favourites are the blaster boats with an ASB |

You can step up the hookbill with the Hawk for only 10 mill more. That loss of mid slot is compensated by additional resists and bonuses. |
