That's not an easy question to answer. Some corps/alliances fly "kitchen sink" fleets where everyone brings whatever they feel like or have on hand. Others try to restrict it to armor or shield fleets, usually because of logi. And others are much more organized, with official alliance fleet ships and fleet fittings and you can only fly one of those ships fit in that way. It all depends.
For logi, I would suggest training scimitar or oneiros over basilisk/guardian. Not because basis and guardians are bad, but because in SMALL organizations it's difficult to come up with two or more logi pilots every time without sacrificing too much DPS, whereas the scimi/oneiros can operate alone with no problem. Logi V is absolutely indispensable if you plan on flying logi at all.
Also concentrate on 1) Gunnery support skills 2) navigation, capacitor, powergrid, tank skills 3) Gunnery main skills for T2 guns and ship skills (to level 5, for the bonuses). A pilot with level 5 skills for a particular ship and who I can count on to fly that particular ship well is more valuable than a pilot who can fly lots of ships badly. Start small with frigates and assault frigates, then work your way up to cruisers and HACs. It will be much easier to get light/small T2 turrets quickly and you'll be fairly competent while waiting for your medium T2 skills to train up for cruisers.
Buying a toon could save you a bit of time if you can afford it. It will not, however, make you a good PvPer. In fact if you have a toon that can fly everything well, you'll probably be tempted to fly shiny ships and your losses will be huge. Keep your ships small until you are confident that you will survive once in a while. |

Actually sometimes a fleet can be too big and the enemy will just refuse to engage and just scream blobbers in local
This usually happens when your fleet is 1 ship bigger than the opposing fleet OR your fleet has a falcon.
TBH though people who run away from anything bigger then them are just care-bears pretending to be PvPers. Fly to die, always. Better yet, fly to make the other bugger die. If you're afraid of losing your ship then don't bring it. And sometimes a small but effective fleet can send a larger fleet packing. Now always, but it's fun when it happens :)
