Well, I've been playing about 2 weeks now and I need to make a decision on what path Im going to train towards.
INTERCEPTOR OR ASSAULT!?
I really can't decide- but I want to get into pvp (and have some success).
Could someone suggest a could assault/interceptor setup that I should work towards to mostly solo pvp in? thanks

Im playing with one other friend- he's going the larger cruiser ship path and I was going to go assault/interceptor because I prefer speed and smaller ships (plus they're easier to train into quickly) so yeah Im going to be solo pvping or very small gang pvping unless I find a big corp to join.
But I really have no idea about the state of pvping or the abilities of each ship, which is what im trying to clear up.
Im flying a Merlin right now with 2 rails and 2 missile launchers and in the meantime training up my frigate/enginering/mechanics/electronics skills while Im doing some missions.
What I really need some some guidance- Ive played many of the pvp MMO's out there (daoc especially) so Im trying to accustom myself to EVE pvp but Im confused with all the complexities.
What I do know is that I like frigate type ships and I like pvp 
Im also getting so much conflicting feedback:
Some say interceptors are good for solo pvp some say they aren't. I've also heard that assault ships are crappy unless your in a large gang or for pve.

alright I'll probably do that AF ---> inty later.
Are railguns and rockets best for a pvp AF or inty?
And im already training into web and MWD.

its funny how each post goes back and forth 
Im going to go for an interceptor first since it looks more appealing. I still have like 50 days of training to learn how to not get owned, so till then I'll be flying my merlin... in the end I'll probably end up training both AF and inty. I just have basic skills up and my caldari frigate is only at 3... and are you guys suggesting now I train into a different racial frigate?
I'd rather switch now than later

yeah Im slowly training each one up.. only at 300k sp so got a long while to go.
Now I just need to figure out which weapon types Im going to train into. I've been looking at the ship setup thread and looks like the majority of crows have rocket setups, but the above poster wrote that missiles suck in pvp

yeah Im definetly not looking for flavor of the month.. or some kind of extremely overpowered ship. Just trying to make sure I dont make an extremely crappy setup and waste my time training skills that are completely useless.
Anyway, I've made a skill plan on EVEmon for a crow something like this... eventually (these are the final skills.. not including prereqs)
Interceptors I (for the crow)
Rocket Specialization IV (decent rocket skills)
Propuslion Jamming IV (well, obvious)
Hull Upgrades III (some basic plates)
High Speed Manuevering I (MWD)
44 days away 
anything else that is vital I should include in my plan?
