I fly the taranis pretty much exclusively and have done for over a year so take from that what you will. The only other guy in this thread that I know does is prometheous so i'd be inclined to listen to him also.
How you fly will ofc always dictate your setup, but personally i fly solo in hostile space looking for ceptor kills and I have three setups:
[Taranis, rail speed]
Overdrive Injector System II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II X 2
Gistii B-Type 1MN MicroWarpdrive
Warp Disruptor II
Cap Recharger II
125mm Railgun II X 3
Auxiliary Thrusters I X 2
Warrior II x2
[Taranis, pvp extender]
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I X 2
Damage Control II
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
Catalyzed Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters
Medium Azeotropic Ward Salubrity I
Light Ion Blaster II X 3
Prototype Cloaking Device I
Auxiliary Thrusters I X 2
Hobgoblin II x2
[Taranis, cookie cutter]
Small Armor Repairer II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Damage Control II
Stasis Webifier II
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I
1MN MicroWarpdrive II
Light Ion Blaster II X 3
Prototype Cloaking Device I
Auxiliary Thrusters I X 2
Hobgoblin II x2
Out of the three I almost always fly the duel web ranis, and note that i dont normally fit disrupters. I've found for the most part your target expects to be scrammed and so the web is more effective.
As with all ceptor fits heat is ESSENTIAL.

right i've EFT'd around after hearing about the rail setup and I think I have one that I like .. fitting three up now to test for a few weeks.
Mag Field Stab II
Damage Control II
Gistii B-Type
Fleeting X 2
125mm Railgun II X 2
75mm Gatling Rail II
offline mod
Aux Thrusters I X 2
Hobgoblin II x2
Now i hate mixing guns and dont use mixed guns on any other ship but meh what can you do. Does around 175dps compared to 185 of my ion ranis and more importantly does that at a much greater range, still sticking with the double web even tho it does over 5km/s.
Gonna give it a go and see what happens.

its not a ranged fit at all, its meant to be up close and personal, hence the duel web. the reason I would chose to use rails over blasters in this case is simply the amount of damage you would do while getting into ion range would outway the extra damage ions do. Your hitting for full damage at 4.5km instead of 0.9km and only do 5 - 10% less damage than ions.
I'm of the opinion that ranged combat in a cepto vs ceptor fight is a difficult thing to do in a ranis due to its comparatively sucky speed, better to pin them down and kill with superior damage imo.
