Currently training to Caldari Frig 5 and was wondering, which of the two would be better for PvP? Hybrids or missiles? I can also just do both but later down the line when I run T2 Cruisers it'd be harder to run both weapons.

You need both, plan on training both, train the one you like better first. They both have their strengths and weaknesses depending on the situation.

well since you really only have to train light missiles, and some missile support skills it should be pretty easy to do guns after that.

praise be to the RLML overlords \o/

Do both since caldari uses missiles/hybrids. As an added bonus you can even train into gallente afterwards.

Don't forget about rockets either. The rocket kestrel is a fantastic, cheap, versatile, and powerful scram kiter for FW and null space. Either way, you can't really go wrong though, the merlin is a savage brawler, and as other posters have noted, hybrids are a great starting point to crosstrain into gallente. Just pick one, train the relevant support skills as soon as you can. For blasters, don't skimp out of training for t2 guns. Null is one of the best reasons to use blasters, and you should never overlook it.

go with missiles first, less punishing when you go against a counter ship.
