Just moved down to 0.0 from living my life in empire. I can use a Retriever with T2 Crystals & Strips but would it be more sensible to use a Rokh while mining all on my todd, is that the normal practice?

Well, anything that can tank the NPCs forever whilst still mining is what you need for 0.0 mining basically. Therefore, Rokh > Retriever.

really depends on your circumstances, how many your mining with and the area your in (how safe it is and whether you need to ninja mine or not).

A BS will be perfect to tank and mine however you need to have decent drone skills if you load up all high slots with mining beams. I find multiple accounts to be the perfect answer for 0.0 riches. You can have one account tank (if you are talented you can mine with this character as well) and one account use a mining barge. I would however wait till you are comfortable tanking with your BS first. Make sure you have verified your tank fittings and offense are sufficient for 0.0 mining (going with WCS maybe a good idea at least at first and have a corp mate near by in case your first attempt may turn into a rescue mission).

There are 2 general cases.
1) non secured system. That means mostly in daily base hostiles jumping arround and mining is almost impossible.
2) secured system (as possible). In this option we have 2 choices.
2.1) Using a fighter (or better an alt)
2.2) Ninja mining betwin rats spawns.
In 2.2 option you will mine more safely if you using a bs. But even in this case you canot deal with every spawn of rats. Many spawns (depends on how low is your system) are BS's and for escort you might find cruisers. In this case is better to change belt till you find something more handy.
Option 2.1 (and the best)
Here the fighter (preferably your alt) have 2 choices.
1st is to kill spawns fast to avoid you to be locked by rats.
2nd an d safest way is to use a fighter in a bs with specific equipment for passive tanking. You first have to find a ver good place to mine. If there are rats send first your fighter to get locked by rats. Dont shoot at them because you dont want to kill them.
If is locked then youre totaly safe to use any mining barge with any equipment you like.
If rats spawns at later time then the only thing that you have to do is warp out till he get locked by rats.
This is the best and safest way to mine for many hours without having to worry about rats.
If the fighter (or your alt) is a caldari the best ship you can use is the Scorpion. It has 8 meds which can be used for shield rechargers.
Advantage of passive tanking. Excellent recharge rate and way cheaper than active tanking. Ofcourse you dont have to worry about your cap at all

If you can't afford a Hulk, which if you are only in a retriever then you can't fly one yet either, your best bet is mining with a friend or two.
I mine with another corp mate when we are the only two on. We both mine in Covetors. My alt tanks in a Domi and his alt hauls.
The least productive is to mine and tank in a BS. Your yield will suffer somewhat plus you have to empty your hold so often you can not even read a book very well. :)
BTW if you are looking for a good industrial corp in 0.0 space convo me ingame. We are always looking for miner types.

The following ship will out mine a retriever, and tank 0.0 (non EM damage)without taking a drop of red on its shield, even 3 1.8 BS. Then you can run your Hulk alt and your Itty 5 hauler. Takes a bit of guts to run though. Watch local, and be aligned to warp to POS. Its also a click fest, but it does add a lot to your ore/hour. Posted with my junk alt so people don't go looking for me.
