Another n00bish question to add to this, and I do apologize for the minor hijack.
Why would you want to mine in a Frig in low sec rather than a bigger ship like an Osprey at least?
Would a Domi be too slow to react to a potential threat?

A Domi is kind of odd in terms of lowsec mining. On the one hand it's a giant freaking target and unless you warp to station the instant you notice hostiles in local you're going to get smoked. I've warped out just as hostiles were entering belt a single kilometer from scram range before.
But properly set up a good Minadom is a hard ship to pirate. Smaller vessels can have difficulty with it because a Dominix can just spit out waves of little murderers at you, so you either need to be fast enough to evade the drones or in a big enough ship where you can just murder the Domi faster than he can do it to you. Even better (or worse depending on where you sit), though, is the fact that the Domi is a great bait ship. I've used a "mining" Dominix (I.E. one that was actually only fitting a few miners and was instead fitted out with a nice hefty tank and tackle) to bait out pirates before so that my friends and I can rip them to shreds.
So what ship would you recommend for low sec solo mining?

If you must solo mine I'd say an Osprey as it won't cost too much to lose. If you're feeling adventurous you can try a Dominix, but any pirate who finds you is likely to attempt to call in his friends.
Why come in and blow me up rather than demand a ransom? Does blowing me up net them more money?
BTW, I apologize again for the hijack. Hopefully the OP finds my questions and the answers somewhat informative as well.

At this point, I think any information would be beneficial to me since I am still learning. Steering the questions in another direction though, What are some of the ranges I can expect for scramblers and what would be a good stabilizer to use considering my lowbie status.
Oh, and lastly I have to comment that the maturity level on these forums is refreshing when considering my typical forum experience is with WoW.
Don't let the Domi fool you, I am still learning myself. I rushed to that battleship only for rock murder in High-sec, though I am changing my ways and my positioning. I am moving into low sec and trying to learn the ins and outs as much as possible.
