since you said guristas I'm tempted to say hybrids, but since you said missions I want to say projectiles.
running missions typically involves a lot of shooting other factions as well, so I wouldn't want to spec into something that is only good at shooting a few factions. Personally I did all the guns because guns are awesome.

My jump clone can fly dedicated pirate battleship at best, so it seems two viable choices are Machariel or Vindicator or maybe some navy fation BS like Tempest Fleet Issue, Megathron Navy Issue, Dominix Navy Issue or T1 BS like Tempest, Maelstrom, Megathron, Hyperion, Rokh.
I know projectiles offer selective damage but I opt for longer range guns and Howitzer Artillery is not great choice with very long reload times and often overkill alpha. On the other hand hybrid rails looks quite good on paper but overall damage and alpha are not so exciting and tracking speed is abysmal. Yet maybe some of those BS have some great weapon bonuses?
if you don't group your guns then the 1400s on the mach don't do too much in overkill, that said dps is still pretty low.
personally I favor an AC mach and usually try to stick to brawl ranges where it can do a lot of dps. It wont touch polarized golem eft dps, may or may not beat it with in game applied dps, but I'll take the mach's flexibility over a torp golem any day.
rail vindicator can get some nice dps numbers, but fitting is very tight. Or you can shield tank it and go max gank. over all I never really liked flying it.

caldari space missions off the top of my head
2x blood raiders
3x sansha
1x angel
2x serpentis
3x mercs
3x drones
1x EoM
4-5x guristas
then there are a few mix up missions
worlds collide serp/guristas, although they are very similar I included this one under serpentis above.
dread pirate scarlet: pretty random on which enemies you end up facing
the one with drones and mercs, I forget the name.
So I very directly answered hybrids earlier as they are going to be the best turrets vs guristas. If you were going to be ratting in gurista space I would have said get a vindi and start blowing stuff up. However against the whole mission pool I'd go with projectiles. the question of what is best vs guristas doesn't really make sense to ask for missions. I'd also suggest blitzing, but that is probably a whole other thread.

Altair Taurus wrote:As I understand flying Incursions requires moving pirate BS on long distances. Do you do it in two phases: first phase - moving empty BS, second phase - moving its faction/deadspace fit in (covert ops) cloaked ship? Moreover, isn't Incursion fleet often attacked by gankers fleets after being formed?
Yes, I asked about ECCM modules here a while before. If I understand you correctly, many stacked ECCM modules are needed to overcome Gurista's jamming what and that ruins any fit. However missile/drone boats can remedy this by using FoF missiles and drones set to aggressive, correct?
last time I did incursions I used a travel fit to go between systems, a ship with a few 100k EHP and ~8s align (click warp turn ab on/off) is kinda hard to gank. that said my fit was on the low end, so probably not even worth it to gank. some of the setups are very blingy and there you will probably want to move some of the fittings in an alt with cov ops or blockade runner.
once you are in fleet you have logi support and most gankers aren't going to mess with that. I hear some gankers tried to smartbomb a incursion fleet, and in the resulting lag bomb the incursion runners were mostly safe and the gankers all got concorded.
many people call incursions risk free isk printing

and that right there is an even better idea.
