Well if you try to make a run through Rancer you'll notice smartbombing BS's. Can tank sentry's and insta-pop a lot of ships, it's a cheap way to fill up the KB but it does seem to be very effective.

Devoter or Phobos. Phobos has fitting for both SB & web, but Devoter can control range (ie. more survivable).

Be more specific so we can narrow down a choice for you.
Is this for solo/group camp?
If group - how big is it?
Do you want to permanently tank the sentries or will you warp in gank then run?
If you have a buddy keeping eyes for you, and you have a warp off bookmark beyond 150 km from the gate, a tanked out cruiser can tank the sentries long enough for you to get a lock and gank the target. If you have friends that can split sentry fire with you - again the tanked out cruiser can do the job fairly well.
An armor tanking friend with remote sensor boosters can really help you. So can a remote sensor boosting Scorpion.
BC are a good choice to work with since they can tank sentries, hit hard - but they can't lock quickly on their own. You'd need to sensor boost yourself (armor tanker) or have a friend boost you.

I only ran into one gate camp in low sec so far(not counting ones i went through or around). There were 2 astartes camping it. The Astarte seemed to lock me super fast. Maybe the pilot was fitted and skilled for locking fast. I do not know how much dps the astarte has.
It seemed like the astarte was able to tank the sentries though it was into armor allready. |

this can sound stupid but the best ship is the blockade runner
it is more usefull for looting wrecks than anything, see for yourself
warping to wreck, grab loot 2 sec, warp out 4 sec... and 5 warp core strength
i looted many wrecks like this, it never failed

A blockade runner can be very useful, also another role for it would be to fit a ship scanner and cargo scanner, so you can ransom the target |

I was going to ask this as well, figured it'd be better to just post here. Can a Myrmidon tank the guns long enough to kill something, loot, and warp off? Or could it even permatank the guns by itself?

Yes it can, but sentries will pop the drones pretty fast. |

u dont have 2, train for some warden II sentry drones, get ur self a ishtar/domi or ship that an field em, field drone link augs for uber range, slap sb's and tackle in meds and tank in the lows
place sentries over 150km from gate (so sentry guns cant shoot em
then get on gate and get ready :)
this should work no? - just make sure some 1 dont pop ya sentries and id go with ishtar for this, with mwd so u can tackle target easier than domi

Solocamping a gate is suicide. People like me get all of our best fights from sologate campers like you, but people like me never lose because we know what you've got. Solocamping in a hic or cs will let you kill lots of haulers and pilots not looking for a fight but will just make your lossmail worth 125mil+.
The other day my friend and I (tempest, hyperion) ran into 2x phobos, 1x onyx, and one sniper hype, all outlaw, at a lowsec gate. We killed all 3 hics. That pirate group probably had the system completely locked down to all haulers and basic travelers bigger than frigates but they took 400mil in losses (probably more, the onyx lost a Caldari Navy Large booster). It was an absolutely fantastic fight but was not very profitable for them. (In their defense the hype was sniping and the first phobos came to hold my pest in place, so they werent really sitting on the gate). If you are looking for a great fight and don't mind the fact that peeps are going to know what to bring to kill you, go for sitting on the gate in a badass cs or something.
