Still Sleipnir, then Astarte.
Btw I am always amused, that a lot of people claim the Abso has an extreme tank. Especially "the Astarte needs to do more Damage, because the Abso has a much better tank!". I wonder if any of these guys ever checked the tanking abilities of both ships. With pretty standard T2 setups thee Astarte does more raw dps AND has a slightly (almost equal though) BETTER tank than the abso (all skills 5). And it¦s more mobile... and carries more 800s charges. ;) I wonder why the Astarte costs less in Jita :p

Btw I forgot to add some numbers... I am talking about pretty standard dual rep setups on Absolution and Astarte. Dual Rep + Eanm2 + DC + specific active hardener for both.
Absolution (2 heat sinks): 710 dps, 525 tank
Astarte (1 mag stab): 762 dps, 542 tank
Faction Ammo for both. Range:
Absolution: 7.5 + 5
Astarte: 1.9 + 7.5 (ions) (2.3 + 9.4 on 2 neutrons)
So they are nearly equap on those numbers. The Advantage of the Absolution is 23+5 Range with scorch (4.7 + 9.4 / 5.6 + 12 for the Astarte with Null)... more flexibility and a med nos/neut. The Astarte is much more mobile though (MWD vs no speed mod), slightly more cargo for 800s, more damage and even slightly better tank.
Forgot to ask for a standard Sleipnir setup... with 3 gyros and X-Large Tank you get 750 dps, 744 tank (with CL-5 because of CPU/grid, faction possible of course) (not substainable for long even with a booster. With booster and cap at zero: 530 substainable). 1.5 + 15 Range with faction EMP. No Speed setup, but no Rigs fitted and one empty high slot and one empty low slot. So probably still enough room for speed as well. ;)

Sleipnir can fit a disruptor instead of a amp2 e.g. and the tank is still stronger than Abso/Astarte as long as it has cap. My setup had a cap booster fitted anyways.
