Do you prefer drones or hybrid guns?

pretty much this
guns i would go incursus/catalyst for l1, l2 thorax or if u have more isk navy exeq, l3 i would be the brutix (maybe navy exeq but not tried so caution)
for drones go tristan/algos for l1, l2 vexor better vexor navy and for l3 vexor navy or myrmidon with sentries and some smaller stuff

Like this all so far just one to add.

For lvl 1 and lvl 2 the Federation Navy Comet can be a very good alternative.
Excellent blaster platform and 3 lights ot help out.

any of the galente drone boats will do well. Vexor/Myrm with light drones will wreck L1-2 missions, the myrm will be able to do level 3 missions too.

Newbee with low skill will most profit with Gnosis, IMHO. There is no sense to discuss L1 missions cause you are not fighting with low standings - you just grind mission loop. So L1 missions will be gone as soon as you make couple of them and have at least basic social skills.
L2 missions - passively tanked shield Gnosis, rail guns and 5 small + 5 medium drones.
L3 missions - active armor tank, missiles and 2 sentry drones + 5 small drones. You have to carefully read what you will find in eve-survival.org about the specific missions and choose drones and missiles accordingly. Almost each mission requires the specific damage type applyed to NPC and different kind of missiles / drones allow you to adjust the damage type. You will be struggling against drones with hybrid turrets, for example, since drones are vulnerable for EM but hybrid ammo does kinetic / thermal damage. So for drones you take curators + mojlir missiles. Do not forget to fit medium micro jump drive.

Keep skilling for drone boat and you will get to cheap and effective L4 mission ruinner - Dominix.

For L2 missions:
[Gnosis, Cheap low sp PVE Gnosis for L2]
Damage Control II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II

Experimental 10MN Afterburner I

F-12 Nonlinear Tracking Processor, Optimal Range Script

'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Mjolnir Heavy Missile

Medium Processor Overclocking Unit I
Medium Nanobot Accelerator I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I

Hammerhead II x5
Hobgoblin II x5

Use meta 4 modules, where you do not have skills for T2.
Shield hardeners are mission specific.
Do not be surprised by rigs - they will be needed later, when you use same ship for L3 missions:
[Gnosis, Low sp PVE Gnosis L3]
Damage Control II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Medium Armor Repairer II
Shadow Serpentis Armor Thermic Hardener

'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Scourge Heavy Missile

'Arbalest' Heavy Missile Launcher, Scourge Heavy Missile

Medium Processor Overclocking Unit I

Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I

Hobgoblin II x5
Garde II x2

Since you are not going to use missile launchers on Dominix, there is no point to add ballistic control or other damage modifiers for missiles here. Only target painter. Serpentis armor hardeners are cheap and allow you to save much CPU. Hardeners, missiles and drones are mission specific. This example is against Serpentis. If you can fit everything and has enough CPU - replace Medium Processor Overclocking Unit I by some other meaningfull rig.

I never tried the Gnosis so I cant comment on the recommendation. But why do you recommend that he train Hybrids for level 2 missions and then have him train missiles for level 3 missions? Isnt that alot of wasted time spent in training skills? Surely it would be better to use Hybrids for the level 3 boat as well?

I do not recommend to train hybrids or missiles. He is a gallente, his main focus can (should IMHO) be drones. Cause it is the way gallente pilots adjust their damage type.
Missiles in Gnosis get bonuses from hull just the same way as any other damage module. Except drones - they get bonus twice as big. To train missiles to some basic degree does not take much time and I guess he already got some hybrid weapon skills. Main idea is that with missile launchers newbee can adjust the damage type. And L3 missions do require to pay attention to produced damage. Not as much as L4 but still...
If OP will stay with security missions as main fun / ISK pve income, he will end sooner or later in Rattlesnake and it is a missile boat any way.

Here is a t1 myrm fitting for lv3. The nano/reactive combo can easily replaced by mission specific hardeners, but honestly in 90% of the times your shield wont go below 50% anyway.
Fightmechanic is the same as later with the domi/rattle, warp in pocket mjd out if you want, shoot stuff while drinking coffee and use afterburner for the cases you need to move. If you have a lot of money use geckos + sentries.

[Myrmidon, Myrmidon lv3d t1]

Medium Armor Repairer I
Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer I
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I
Reactive Armor Hardener
Drone Damage Amplifier I
Drone Damage Amplifier I

Medium Micro Jump Drive
10MN Afterburner I
Cap Recharger I
Omnidirectional Tracking Link I, Optimal Range Script
Sensor Booster I, Targeting Range Script

200mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M
200mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M
200mm Prototype Gauss Gun, Antimatter Charge M
Drone Link Augmentor I
Drone Link Augmentor I

Medium Anti-Explosive Pump I
Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump I
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I

Hobgoblin I x5
Caldari Navy Warden x4

The guns are mainly for show. Use missionspecific faction drones (and dont forget them, like I do, they are the only thing worth a bit).

Don't know how good this is compared to others but I like it for lvl 2 and the occasional level 3.
I have the skills for the all T2 fit if you do not simply replace these with the T1 counterparts.

Drone Link Augmentor II
3x 220mm Vulcan AutoCannon II

2x Cap Recharger II
Tracking Computer II
Omnidirectional Tracking Link II

Damage Control II
Medium Armor Repairer II
Gyrostabilizer II
2x Adaptive Nano Plating II

Medium Auxiliary Nano Pump II
Medium Nanobot Accelerator II
Medium Capacitor Control Circuit I

5x Hobgoblin II
5x Hammerhead II

Possible changes and my thoughts.
I use auto canons since you primary dps is your drones and the auto canons do not require any cap. You can replace these with rails or blasters if you prefer them, or you do not have skills for the auto canons.

Tracking computer helps the guns, the omnidirectional helps the drones. one of each or 2 of either one is a personal preference thing.

The gyro stab helps the guns and can be replaced with a third hardener if you want or need it.
I fly with the adaptive nano plates, for lower skills switching to mission specifi hardeners would be a better option.

Nano pump and nanobot accelerator both help with the armor rep while the Cap control helsp with your cap recharge rate.

Hammers and hobs are probably the best cboice for all around drones for a low skills pilot, but using damage specific would be better if you have the skills.

Here are a pair of Myrmidon fittings I have used in the past. Don't fly either of these much since I skilled for the Ishtar years ago. Bth of these have 2 empty low slots that you fit mission specific hardeners iinto. With these there are no ship bonuses to guns so I use auto canons to help with cap and just like the Vexor the drones are the primary damage dealers. Replace the auto canons with whatever weapons you prefer. These are all T2 fits so adjust to T1 if needed.

Drones loads are subject to personal preferences and mission requirements.
