Sentry drones, the rattler is good and so is the domi, and the new nestor also seems like it's going to be a strong sentry platform. The marauders are all also really good in level 4 missions, and faction battleship also perform very well.
Hard to say which ship is the absolute best mission boat, it depends on the pirate faction you are mostly fighting and how much isk you are willing to throw into the ship. Low budget, sentry boats seem to out perform everything else, and if the shy is the limit faction battleships are probably your best choice, with marauders being somewhere in between.

If you are paying attention aggro is really not a problem, you can recall and redeploy the drone that get aggro when needed, and most of the time you can just kill the ships that aggro the drones before they get close enough to do any real damage.

I think that is both the strength and "weakness" of the domi, it never really gets better then what you get with the T2 fit. The damage of the domi is decided but the number of drone damage amps you fit in the lows, which normally would be 2 or 3 depending on the mission.
Getting some faction/deadspace tank mods makes it easier to run with 3 drone damage amp, but it really not worth it considering price and the number of missions where it's actually useful.

It's makes up for it in raw damage, it's a solid choice for running level 4 missions, even outside serp/guristas space.
There are many reasons to pick the vindicator over the kronos, especially if you plan on throwing a couple billions into the fitting, but the kronos still is a very good ship.

The changes to omni links is going to reduce the effectiveness of the rattlesnake.

Agreed, I haven't found anything that does mission as fast, or with as little adjustment needed for each mission as my Auto-cannon Mach. with 1400dps, it never takes more than a minute to remove all frigs from a mission and start on the cruisers. With up to 2000m/s mobility I am always right where I need to be. Add to all that a full range of damage types. I can't imagine gimping myself into using anything else. And for the occasional Gurista or Sansha mission I use an Arty Mach with 1000dps out to 130km. And it is easy enough to tank up to 1400dps or more; or the smart move is to use a speed tank and never turn the shield tank on at all. 1400dps, how exactly?
4 gyros, T2 rig and 2 +5% damage implants does give 1400 dps in eft, projected dps is going to be less with the 4km optimal range. The same is true for the 1K arti fit, it has 20 km optimal, and you can't pick damage types with any of the fits.

Is projectile T2 ammo not always Kin/Exp?

The sentry domi is a good mission boat, but it now where close to being the "king" of level 4 missions.
