Hi there. Eternal Montage here. Explorer by trade. Based out of lowsec. To answer your question I think you need to think about the long term.
Where do you see yourself in six months? Do you want to be a hacking expert? Do you want to dive into wormholes? Do you want to do sleeper caches? Do you want to do dedsites? Do you want to focus on escalations and avoid probing? Gas clouds? Lowsec? Highsec?
If you want to hack, do what the other guy said and train for a covops. Hacking doesn't make as much money but it is more consistent income and it can be fun.
If you are more interested in combat, the soe ships will offer an all-in-one platform. The stratios can do anything up to 6/10. Some 6/10s can drop over a bill so I would recommend this route..
If you are interested in the guristas ships, the gila can do almost everything a stratios can do except it doesn't have a covert cloak or scanning bonus.
The other option is holding out for a Tengu, which will certainly open a lot of doors, but this involves a lot of waiting. It also involves a lot of changing fits, and that's annoying.
In my exploration career I've found I've had the most success with scanning in a covops and doing sites in a battleship if possible, or whatever else will fit through the gate (stratus for 3-4/10, astero for 1-2/10, whatever works on unrated sites.)
I've found I have the most fun chasing down escalations. Personally id rather not probe. Escalations let you skip the probing part. I've memorized which anomalies escalate and often do them as I find them. I like to mix pvp and pve by doing anomalies In a pvp boat so that I'm ready for any opportunities that come along. I switch to a pve ship if i get an escalation. Exploration is all about opportunity so make sure you choose a plan that will open the most doors and set you up for the most possible activities. I know id be bored out of my mind simply hacking so i definitely recommend getting a tadte of combat befote you commit to a training path whole hog. you need any other advice feel free to message me in game.
