I am curious what ship the general eve community likes using for solo pvp. The reason I ask this is that I have grown to hate blob or fleet battles as a result of the lag and not really being able to impact the fight since I am not a 2+ years old character with a carrier or dread. My current corp is great but 99% of the PvP is blob based or fleet battles which I do go on but definitely not very fun so I want to get involved in solo pvp that i can get on and go adverturing with :)
I am primarely a drone user as I have gallente BS 4 and 3 mil in drone skills so a corp member suggested a pilgrim since it can cloak and uses my drones well.
What experiences have you folks had with solo pvp and any advice that might save me from dieing

Gal BS IV and 3 mil drones? Sounds like a domi right there.
Pilgrim/curse is ofc great, heck, it can beat most domi's, but.. theyre pricier and well... great if you have the skills for them, otherwise theyre just a isksink.

Personally. Blasterthron, big guns just turn me on like that  
Myrm is a great solo ship and will do well with your drone skills. Pilgrim is good, my alt flys it but I've never gone solo as he usually just scanprobes.

if you can fly a pilgrim as it stands, its a solid choice for solo piracy, since you can pick your targets.
if you have isk to burn, add a talisman implant set to it and strap a few nos on it. should be able to perma-rep a shield booster or two with the nos bonus.
if you can't fly amarr recons, dont fret though. the myrmidon and the dominix are both great with high drone skills, and the domi is quite cheap as BS go, so you can afford to lose it more often than, say, a hyperion.
as a tip to save you from dieing: remember to turn on active hardeners. it sounds stupid, but i've lost count of the number of times i've forgotten to do it.

Yah, that is what attracted me to the force recons. It would be cool to be able to sneak behind enemy lines so to speak. I don't even have frigate 3 for amarr so I would have to train up for the force recons. I wish gallente's force recon was a drone ship not blaster based.
I think that I will try doing it with a myrmidon while I train for the pilgrim to get the hang of it. I have isk to burn right now because of constant ratting (man, I need to find a way to earn a living pvping solely. Ratting for isk is the most boring thing in the world.) Only problem is that with my corp/alliance's killboard, they go nuts if the corp's effiency drops because I loose a ship learning how to solo pvp.
thanks for the advice on the hardners, that would be something I would forget to do in the heat of the moment lol.

there's no way around ...
the mighty ibis of doom
tbh - the "best" ship for a solo-pilot is the one that suits his playstyle. it doesn't matter if you have some uber-pimped ship that someone else recomended you if you don't feel safe when flying it. 
edit: reading the part about your corp's killboard.  ... tbh - join an other corp then

Good point, I should define what I am trying to do more than just solo pvp.
What I am aiming for is being able to positively affect my corp's wars with solo efforts since I can't stand the fleet battles and lag. My corp doesn't really do small gang pvp and I don't want to head up since I don't know entirely what I am doing with it. I like the idea of being able to choose my fights and "going behind enemy lines" like I mentioned before.
thanks for the positive feedback guys. I have been bored with eve lately because of the constant ratting/1 of a million people in a fleet battle, but this is getting me excited about playing again

True solo pvp ships (no covops alt crap) in descending order, first one being the best.
1. Speedfitted dampening curse (aka nanocurse).
2. Pilgrim.
3. Speedfitted Ishtar (aka nanoishtar)
The above three can easily solo npcing battleships in belts. The below ones can't.
5. Huginn.
6. Vagabond.
Now remember - before you "Whine about nanos(tm)". If you are soloing you need to effectively avoid blobs. If you can't effectively avoid blobs your solo experience will be a short one.

I thought that they changed how nanos worked that they don't really work as well? Looks like I will be training for a pilgrim or a curse because cloaking just sounds plain fun :) More fun to me personally than just a Ishtar.

In case of battleship yes.
And you don't fit nanos anymore. There are other ways.
Speedfitted hacs/recons work nearly as well as before (minimal difference).

With the Ishtar's range bonus on drones, you could keep a close range ship at a managable range with that.... mmm interesting.

speedishtar should keep between 25 and 30km when fighting a battleship, so that the battleship is unable to NOS it.

That would require a faction warp disruptor, since tech II only scramble up to 24km. However, if you're talking faction stuff...well, my machariel has 30km nos.

I'm happy to hear that you got isk to burn cause solo pvp is very isk consuming...
my advice is to use a Dominix cause it can deal with a lot of different targets ...and win most of the times
Amarr recons are cool but pretty skill intensive , to really shine on a pilgrim you 'll need recon V and awu IV
please note that you engage targets in web range with pilgrim so if your 'victim' call for help you can experience troubles while disengaging if webbed or scrambled
have fun and gl

My vote goes to a dual-web RSD Rapier with a 24km disruptor.
