Celestis is the cheapest and is quite good but if you want a good mining/fighting ship for a decent price try going for the Vexor.

Agreed Vexor is the way to go for minning ops, if you want to mine by yourself with no one to haul for you.
Celestis is cost effective but the exe is good for both minning and small time hunting..
Thorax rocks for ability to mine with minning lasers but you must have a hauler or secure field to mine in as it has small cargo space.
Fitting,,depends close rng, long rng whats your pleasure..Long 250 rails, short neutron blasters or mix..use tracking mod and shield booster, and some arm mods if you like,, also your skills make a big diff so learn as many combat as posible if you hunt a lot.. Better stay in .5 and above space untill comfortable with setup..
Happy minning and hunting

The Vexor has half the drone space of the Thorax i.e. 1000m3, and while this will hold as many harvesters as you can fly, it can only hold 4 heavies, whilst the Thorax can hold 8. The Thorax also has an extra gun slot, which is obviously a bonus.
However, with the bump in prices recently, I would plum for the Vexor as the difference in mining speed between the two is one laser, whilst the Vexor has a larger cargo bay, allowing less trips should you not have the luxury of a hauler. It can fight as well, it's just not as good as the Thorax. Get the Vexor, make a lot of money, then buy a Thorax. Keep the Vexor at home to mine, and fit the Thorax out with the guns and heavy drones.
Set ups vary, but it basically comes down to what you want to fight and at what range. The Hybrids have received a bit of a boost as of late, and the implentation of effective long range ammunition means you can keep your distance (something to consider against lower sec rats). Despite this, I am still a Blaster man at heart, so I have 5 Ion Blasters on my Thorax, with a webber, booster and MWD in the meds.
Tactics employed by the Vexor and the Thorax are near-identical, it's just that the Thorax with its greater drone capacity can take on bigger fish. Either keep you distance with rails and drones, or MWD up close, web them, then hit them hard with your Blasters.

Exequror is actually the cheapest Gallente cruiser, but I would recomend waiting and saving some isk and buying a Thorax. Best Gallente cruiser.

The Execuror is a great ship for the price,i get 4 miner 2 and 800 drone space, plus u get reasonable cargo space, i havnt used it for hunting much but u could squeeze a some 250s plus 8 hammerheads, is good for beginer miners.

Dude...
Exequror is being treated far too harshly. It is DEFINITELY the second best Gallente cruiser by anybody's standards and fitted properly with the right skills can easily wax a 'rax.
The key is the two launcher HPs. I got an exequror twinked out with some mean **** and trust me I don't *need* to fly one, I got plenty of isk.

Cao, you mean the Celestis right, it has 2 launcher hp's, the exe has none..
And sorry if i misunderstand you.

retrain your skills and get a stabber. its the best ship for the money. 4 turrets 2 missles and its hella fast. not like this helps any for u
for gallente in combat and mining just get a vexor. its got equip with 4 rails or blaster and 1 smartbomb. it can mine well and u can chain rats with it well, so it is probly your best choice. celest is also good but ive never tried it, and thorax is best, but its alot of money to risk when a vexor can do the same thing.
