When I was checking out the stats on Javelin and Rage missiles, it looked like the Rages would be the best bet. Higher base damage and about 1/3 the cost. Sure, they required close quarters, but no biggie...
Well, I ran an L2 mission today to see and, lo and behold, the launcher with Javelins fitted out-DPS'ed the Rage launcher (using Heavy Assault II). On top of that, the cap recharge penalty on the Rages made them almost a complete liability.
Cost aside, are Javelins better than Rages contrary to the attributes? They're faster, longer range, no cap penalty, and it appears higher dmg.

Using Torps, I assume? The high damage ones have a massive explosion radius so they pretty much always do less damage to a target unless they are target painted.
edit(2): err, I can't read. You mentioned heavy assault launcher in there... Well, the heavies have an explosion radius penalty as well so that may still be your problem.
But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.

OK, thanks for the info. Aside from target painting, is there a time when a large explosion radius is useful? I'm new to missiles. I'm Amarr so I've been using lasers, but I just got my shiny new Sacrilege, so I'm learning it all over again

Explosion radius, much like signature resolution, is something that you always want as low as possible. There is never a benefit to having a large explosion radius over a smaller one.

For a Sacrilege you'll really want to use Javelin for long range & faction ammo for short range combat.
Faction missiles do nearly the same damage as rage but have the standard explosion radius and no cap penalty.
