I can only add here, what i have seen and expirienced so far by myself:
Ishtar
Even if as a gallente all 5 HAC Pilot i kinda loved it, is indeed OP. a 50 man Ishtar gang and even less makes a BS fleet hide in their POSes in Nullsec atm, even with the Battleship guys in far higher numbers. The sentry volley just alphas the Battleships ... The recieving end is a bitter thing.
Muninn
I can "all 5" fly that as well but i have never tried due to of better ships to fly until now, (ishtars for example) I might give that a try now ;) well done
Eagle
I had a late night session with a good friend with even more EFT experience than me, still we could not find any good fit that was equally fast, tanky and brutal enough to be worth the ISK. And with Railguns it is just a expansive sniper and until now at least the speed was just not enough for a blaster fit.
What I have read so far
The suggestion of a extra midslot for the Muninn appeared to me as a good idea.
The Armor Tempest is tempting, but in my opinion some bonuses to ship would be cooler. especially since Minmatar is defined by its vide variety of fitting possibilites. making it 8/4/7 would completely smack the shield tempest in the face we all love so much :/
The Vagabonds speed though was completely fine for me. the close range Deimos reaches above 2km/s with massive tank. A kiter like the Vaga musst be able to da something against this (so speed is ok). wich brings me to my next bulletpoint tho:
Suggestions
FIX THE VAGA - please !!!
-before the scrambler buff you could slightly dive under the enemy scrambler since your MWD would have finished its cycle. Nowadays the Vaga is often forced into closerange PVP with a scrambler on it. But with 4 Slots meaning after Propulsiona and point only 2 medslots left for an active tank, you can only lose. (imagine a Dual Rep Ion Deimos vs a Active Shield Vaga)
Of courser you can play the Vaga still like in the old days, but only one unlucky scram and you have one vaga less.
How would you want to build a active shield tank on a 4 medslots cruiser ??? I tried that as well with a good friend.
He has flown that ship for ages now. He sold all of them he had left, saying that i was impossible to make a halfdecent tank that comes somewhere near the abiliteis of the other HACs for that costs.
The Best thing you get is one XL-Ancillary Booster. But that one has only 9 Charges. Or maybe a dual large ancillary with 180s.
In conclusion tho the Vagabond is just a to big risk to fly, because it dies. Fast. And its impossible to use it how it is implied through the Bonuses.
Some last words
Thank you guys for the Phantasm. Its super fun to fly
All the best - jiro
