I used to fly Sabre on an old char and now will be eventually training the flycatcher. Sabre and Flycatcher both seem to be on par as the best so I would think it would be down to personal preference.

Sabre - speed and damage in a golden combination
Heretic/flycatcher - great, but not as fast as the sabre. Missiles for good and bad.
Eris - uhm... cheap and pink?

Sabre is the best dictor in game. Great speed and handling, and enough cpu and grid for any reasonable fitting.
Heretic is workable as well, fine choice.
Eris hurts in fitting, speed, agility.
Flycatcher is....erm.....meh. Just meh.

Although the Sabre is probably the best overall and definitely the fastest, I've chosen to go with the Flycatcher. It's average, can fit what I want to use, has no major problems for me to complain about, and it's very cheap compared to the Sabre. Since it's practically a given that I'll lose my first few interdictors (I've already lost two actually) the cheap price tag comes in handy.

Its worth noting that its unlikely to matter at all which one you fly. Some people like to go and catch ceptors and stuff solo, but if your not solo, your one role is to drop a bubble, run away and let the gang do the killing, because that way you live for the next engagement.

Sabre is best (fast, hits hard, can fit a good shield buffer and both point and web, easy to fit)
Flycatcher is worst (agonizingly slow)
Eris can be really good, or pretty much the best, if you're in a larger fleet and dropping bubbles and surviving is the only thing asked of you (it's the fastest of the 4 interdictors if you fill the low slots with speed mods, and you can put a medium shield extender in the second mid slot for buffer). Otherwise it's somewhat crappy.
Heretic I'm not familiar with but I guess somewhere between Sabre and Flycatcher in usefullness.

Compare the speed of your Eris with that of a Flycatcher, and you will see that it does indeed matter which one you fly.

The Sabre is most likely the best 'dictor to solo in; great combination of speed, damage, and good slot layout. The Sabre is the reason that CCP nerfed 'dictor base speed across the board (which was a mistake IMHO but that's for another thread). Tends to get primaried first.
The Flycatcher is good for camps and other situations where speed is less of an issue; it's got the hold to carry loads of probes, lots of midslots for gang support stuff, and a missile Flycatcher can at least hassle most nano-ships with precision lights. With the return of the drive-by-bubble, I forsee the Flycatcher regaining some of it's lost popularity.
The Heretic is, on paper at least, one of the best 'ceptor killers in the game with bonuses to missile velocity and missile explosion velocity. Otherwise it's similar to a Flycatcher with a different slot layout, more speed, and much better looks.
The Eris is the fastest 'dictor and if all you're looking to do is drop bubbles and stay alive, it's probably your best choice. You can also make a reasonably powerful blaster/rocket platform out of it, but it's not going to be as effective as an AC Sabre.
Overall, my favorites are a Flycatcher for camping and an Eris for gangs. If I flew 'dictors solo much, I'd be in a Sabre in a heartbeat.

You raise your arm, stretch out one finger and "point" in a direction 
Fun aside: The warp scramble strength is measured in points. So "point" or "put a point on sth" generally refers to the process of warp scrambling something

Except the without the grid to fit t2 launchers or the CPU to do much with its mid slots. And a ******** fourth bonus (missile precision on light missiles? really?). Good engagement range though. It'd be nice if this ship and the Eris were reviewed at some point. There's no reason why it should be a problem to fit t2 std launchers and a t2 mwd on this hull.

If you try to fit standards, a bubble launcher, a MWD, and an MSE, named, faction, or T2, I agree completely that you're going to run into fitting trouble. You can either fit standards and no MSE and hope you can maintain range or rockets and an MSE and hope you have enough buffer. I actually prefer to fit my Flycatchers with rockets to make fitting other stuff easier; the thought there is that if I'm actually shooting anything the situation is relatively safe so getting in close is less risky. With good support skills, you can hit from ~14km, which is pretty nice for rockets.
And the precision bonus helps offset the lousy explosion radius of Rage Rockets, but faction is still a better choice. A bonus to explosion velocity would absolutely be nice to have, but then we would just have a Caldari Heretic.

Heretic.
Sexy, agile, fits easily, and is cheaper then the overpriced Sabre.
Speed lows, mse, mwd, web, proto cloak, bubble launcher and a rack of rockets fit like a charm.

Heretic: you look pretty as you die.
Honestly, it doesn't matter. If you're using an interdictor for its intended role, you're either ganking the target with overwhelming firepower (where it doesn't really matter what ship you fly), or you're going to be called primary and killed before you can do anything but hopefully drop your bubble.
