Looking for my first BS purchase, would like to know what the best drone carrier would be and what, if any, are the drawbacks of using such a BS. I want to mine in low sec space (still empire), be able to defend myself against NPCs (which I can do atm with a Thorax and HCDs).
Any ideas?

Get a Dominix or Typhoon.
Dominix is better for mining.
Typhoon is better for PvP.
With the crazy dronespace Dominix has, you could easily mine in low-sec space

get an armageddon.
2500 drone space and 7 miner2's its the best mining ship u can get besides the apoc. also loaded with armor u can take some hits while u mine

I would prefer the Dominix over the Arma for mining because it has a lot more cpu I think, 150 base I think. That way you can do more with your low slots besides CPU boosters. Thats just me tho. And the Dom is a pretty ship (once you actually fly one)

The Dom a Pretty Ship ? come on, it looks like 4 designers worked seperately on it and knew nothing of what the others were doing. It's the ugliest ship I ever loved. :) GREAT Drone space and and can take a beating. But not the best pvp ship to have.

Arma also has the same mid slots as a thorax :S.
Id say go for a dominix, several reasons:
-> huge drone space(and more per bship skill lvl)
-> better defences for low sec mining(more mid slots)
-> lastly if your a cheap bastard(like me)youve already got gallente cruiser learned, unless your willing to shell out for amarr ship skills, its probably most convenient for you to go down the gallente path.
Imo id rather give up 1 turret slot for better defences, but if thorax works out fine for your needs atm, you might find yourself better off in a armageddon.

But a Very Very Good PvP ship to have. Can you say 5 425mm rails and 1 Med Smart Bomb? 21 drones and 5 mids to play with... if thats not a good pvp setup I don't know what is.
To the original poster:
Dominix is the better lvl 1 BS to buy. Its sturdy, mines well, has tons of defensive capabilities. I had that and a geddon and the geddon it was a good 0.9 ship with harvestors. However the dominix could go down to 0.1 with reletively easy on its heavy drones and defense alone.
Even in 0.4 your drones are gonna take some kind of a beating and that means you need backup drones... the geddon only has 2 backups.
Plus If you have a PC rat enter your belt... the geddon is open to destruction.

Dominix is NOT a bad pvp ship. Trust me. In fact in most circumstances I would say you are better off in a dom than in a megathron
