As in topic.

Which is better for running missions in caldari space?

Vindi is cooler in my opinion :)

Some fits would be nice.

Here's what I have. You can replace the 4th RF gyro for T2 and you'll only lose like 10 DPS, Hardeners to choice but I prefer specific ones unless you want to spend the ISK for CN invulns

I don't find the vindi to be a good PvE boat.

Terrible lock range doesn't go well with rails (or gallente space missions that have SDs), and blasters aren't good for PvE.
Its damage type isn't good outside gal/cald space.

The mach does everything on the other hand, and arty fits reduce ammo cost (I assume you use faction/T2 ammo where the costs are worth considering?)

They both seem just as bad against guristas jammers, but the new mobile depots somewhat alleviate that by allowing you to mount ECCM mid-mission

The Mach is almost certainly better in the hands of a good pilot. Mostly due to its flexible damage types.
