Mostly because the trick to doing BR sites isn't to brute force them (you can't really brute force some of the BR sites), sansha sites are easy though.
Having an EHP fit is logical to use anyway because it makes you less of a gank target in case you fly around with valuable exploration loot and also because it doesn't require bling mods in the first place (which would make you even more of a gank target). Or to put it more directly; using lol bling fit cruisers in high sec, quite possibly with lots of bling loot on board, is dumb as hell. Especially so if the other option is hilariously cheap AND EHP based at the same time.

..a six-slot tank plus tanking rigs? On an Ishtar? Seriously? 
If you're planning on hisec exploration, I'd recommend Blood Raiders rather than Sansha. Apart from the huge (mostly empty) regions to wander round, the 3/10 plex (Blood Raider Intelligence Collection Point) is all frigates and can be tanked with a SAR. And the frequently generous Mul-Zatah Monastery 4/10 plex is a doddle in a 'tar because it can be sniped with an equally tiny tank. You'll need a MAR and extra tank for the Blood Watch or Vigil though.

This cap-stable fit can snipe to 100km or motor around a Blood Watch with impunity - but stay clear of NOSsers and primary them. Take a Mobile Depot and swap two DDA's for a DCU and a faction EANM for the Vigil. It's a tight fit, and if you don't have the skills then drop the railgun. But this is what I used for many (highly profitable) months tooling around Genesis, Kor Azor and Kador. Many Corpum C-type EANMs were looted
