As title says, I'm looking for a ship which people won't hesitate to engage (perhaps underestimated) as well as having the ability to get out when **** hits the fan.

Republic fleet firetail or hookbill before it's mass increase seems like what you're looking for.

Velator (or any other noobship) works for me. You can always GTFO in your pod and get a new one for free... and people tend to underestimate Velator too...

P.S. whether you can kill anyone with your mining laser and free noob railgun is another matter all together.

Prophecy has a surprising ability to disengage by deaggroing and jumping due to its gargantuan buffer.

Any faction frigate is a juicy target (except maybe a Navy Slicer for some odd reason).

I'm not sure if long point + MWD setups count as having GTFO abilities, but I feel that new "baby interceptor" T1 frigs can work for you. They, however, will die if sneezed at and someone get decent warp-in it doesn't look good either...

Am I missing something?

The best GTFO ability have ships with oversized propulsion modules or ships which have both MWD and AB. Also good ships to consider are kiters like vagabond, just have to be more careful with these ones :)

Venture has the inherent GTFO ability :P

As for "The ship that gets you in fights". I suggest using rifter. Everybody engages it Don't bother about getting out. Its only a rifter if you lose. Try coming up with an unique fit and surprise people.

For kiting purposes, LML condor and Rail atron are quite decent.

QFT.

A battle Helios can catch many frigates out there with their pants down. A corpmate of mine puts his to good use, and gets quite a bunch of kills with it.
