I'm getting ready to start using Tech 2 drones, and I'm not sure which ones are the best to use.
Which of the medium drones are the best to use in different situations and why?
Thanks

If u r going to be running missions, have a look at which faction you will encounter the most, see what damage they r weak against, and then train to uses the drones that do that damage. Kinetic and Thermal seem to be the most popular

Also, keep an eye out for all of the drone stats.
Minmatar: Explosive damage, BEST tracking and speed, 3rd best damage, 2nd best shield amount, tied for 3rd best total HP. Amarr: EM damage, 2nd best tracking and speed, WORST damage, WORST shields, and tied for 3rd best total HP. Caldari: Kinetic damage, 3rd best tracking and speed, 2nd best damage, BEST shield amound, BEST total HP. Gallente: Thermal damage, WORST tracking and speed, BEST damage, 3rd best shields, 2nd best total HP.
Speed is important, as a drone must be at a target to fire at it. Plus they all have the same sig radius (for size) that speed helps reduce damage.
Shield amount is important, since once your drones go into you bay, their shields are instantly replenished, and you could send them out again.
Tracking is important too, the Gallente drones are better vs bigger ships, while Minmatar drones are great vs much smaller targets (depending on the size of the drone being used).
Most people say "Gallente drones are best because they deal the most damage."
However there are quite a few OTHER stats to look at too.

Actually, drones have pretty similar effective tracking, 'cept Berserkers, which have the worst effective tracking. It's all in orbit speed. - Base insurance payout: 40% of ship base price Platinum cost: 33% of ship base price Platinum payout: 100% of ship base price Ship base prices can be found in CCP's Item Database. |

For PvP, Warriors are awesome for seeing off MWD'ing intereceptors. Valkyries can also get up to decent speeds to catch the slower ones.
That and explosive damage is a nice complement to my Gallente (Kinetic/Therm) and Amarr (EM/Therm) setups.
