I think you'd be better off doing them in a drake or something, as you might lose the Raven to hungry WH PVPers, and with the quality of c2 loot&salvage, it's gonna take you a while to get a new Raven if you lose it. Ravens also won't do great against the abundant smaller Sleepers enemies, so just stick to battlecruisers.

I agree; a drake is cheaper, tank C2 sites easily, and has better damage application against frigs.

T2 precision cruises would be the best, I think.

shooting fast moving low sig sleeper frigs with cruise /torps ain't gonna work.
sleepers eat drones so they won't help.
you want T2 heavy launchers with precision missiles to kill those.
rapid heavy have a long reload.
as others have said a drake (insured) is what you need (drake can tank C3 fine as well but solo it takes too long to run C3)
I find C1 make more isk.hr than C2 because i kill more ships faster and end up with more nanoribbons.
