The best is what you find fun to fly. There is no statistical best

This, although for maximum sustained dps the federal corvette is good. If you don’t want to grind an anaconda with engineered thrusters can compete with the corvette in terms of pve killing power.

im prob just gonna stick to the andaconda im prob gonna do a type 10 at some point for the fun of it

Easiest to win at pve is the corvette. The anaconda is very similar to the corvette imo. taking an SLF along and leaving the main ship to the npc crew member can help keep big ship combat fun and engaging.

Most fun to fly but still deadly ship is the Krait MK II in my experience, It is a good blend of firepower, dual tanking, and maneuverability. (the cockpit view is also a bonus)

For mining i would suggest starting in the Python or Krait MK II, and then possibly moving on to the corvette or t-10. Surviving in a mining fit T-9 can be ... problematic.

The best one is the one that tickles your pickel

[Mr Robert House]

I would be very careful with a mining type 9, that’s a lot of lost progress if something goes wrong.

Plenty really, a Vulture is incredibly. The Chieftain is amazing.
Krait Mk2 is also pretty darn good with the SFL added bonus. Python as well can be devastating.

With an engineered Anaconda or Corvette, you'll probably show up to a HAZ RES and blow up everything on the first volley without the NPC even realizing what's going on.

EDIT: and oh yeah, I second that Python is my favorite miner for sure, easy to maneuver through the asteroid fields, can do all laser, and core mining with ease, carry near 200t of cargo (or more if you ditch some class 5 collectors), decent jump range, and can avoid interdictions without breaking a sweat, AND can land in any station or outpost.

Cobra Mk4!

i would say any ship you want, once i just wanted to be done fast with my rank grind so i accepted last promotion mission which was assassination, had to defeat anaconda in shieldless eagle with deafult lasers, it took some time but was done. Yet if you mean "best" by stats i would call cutter/corvette

[♥ Beepy ♥]

Depends on my mood and what I want to do. If I'm planning on sitting in a hazres or running conflict zones for a few hours... I'll bring my Corvette. If I'm after some quick kills and fast-paced dogfighting, I'll grab my FDL.

Honestly believe medium ships are the way to go, sure large ships are great but medium ship are more versatile (land at any station/easier time landing on planets). Definitely with the upcoming odyssey update, if you plan to get it, as there will be a lot more landing on planets.

My fav ship for combat (and works with other tasks) is the Krait Mk2. I love the SLF, they are really fun and I find the looks of the krait really appealing although looks are subjective. IMO it is a step up from the python for combat although python is better for other tasks.
