Alright I've got my Merlin fit for Novices and am now looking to fit a Harpy for Small plexes. So I need something that can kill Frigates, AFs and Destroyers, as nothing bigger can enter the plex.

Obviously there is no one solution to rule them all, but what would be the closest thing to beat any random opponent that comes across? Should I go dual prop? Blasters or rails? Buffer/MASB/resist tank? So many options...

Harpy vets, please give me your pointers and fittings, with tips to use them and what to avoid with the particular fits.

For lowsec I would just adapt my nullsec fit personally and go with AB over MWD:

[Harpy, AB Harpy]
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I

1MN Afterburner II
Faint Epsilon Warp Scrambler I
X5 Prototype Engine Enervator
Medium F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction

Light Neutron Blaster II, Null S
Light Neutron Blaster II, Null S
Light Neutron Blaster II, Null S
Light Neutron Blaster II, Null S
Rocket Launcher II, Caldari Navy Inferno Rocket

Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I

Its pretty hard to get beat in a straight up brawl unless you get neuted dry, beware of kiters. If you want to be a kiter try the rail, duo web/point fit.

This fit works fine for nullsec with an MWD, see no reason why it would perform any worse, given it actually gets more effective tank with the AB.

Oh, EDIT:

Numbers:

EHP - 10.5k
DPS - 242/279 with null, best ammo choice due to being able to hit out to 9km without any damage loss.
Speed - 835m/s

This is before implants, 3/5%'s really push it to a point thats pretty scary. I currently fly with a double magstab + t2 damage setup that does 470dps with void and 343 with null.

Curious why you went with a rocket launcher rather than something that'll help with the inevitable pvp? (I'm assuming this to be flown other than in safe sov space)

How's the tracking with the T2 ammo? Any TD and you won't be able to hit frigs...

And why shouldn't the rocket launcher be useful?

Take a look at his blogpost about the fit: http://vergeofcollapse.com/whthrunull/?p=36
It's actually quite fascinating.

Saved for later, but the clone needed for that makes my wallet's anus clench up. I'd probably downgrade the RL to a Meta 4, or even drop it entirely if need be.

Also, I'm guessing the reason why he uses Anti-EM rigs over defence extenders would be to keep his sig radius down? I'd image those would give more tank.

The setup is pretty similar to what I've been fiddling with, although I had a MASB in place of the extender. I'll see what I can fit.

Was just worried about the tracking, but I guess I can always carry some faction ammo for better tracking, if it becomes a problem.

Thanks!

If you ditch the RL you can fit it without implants. I have experimented with replacing a magstab with a TE and then upgrading the MAPC to a tech 2 one, to make it all fit, but it turned out to be a waste. It's better to drop the RL.

The EM rigs gives the same sig increase. defence extenders will increase the overall resist, but it will leave a huge EM hole which will cause any EM dmg to melt the ship. Any good pvper will know that a t2 caldari ship will have a weakness against em dmg.
