Been looking at setting one of these up for my blops toons to get some "solo" hunting in through my NS static.

I've watched a ton of videos, looked around the forums, reddit, etc, etc, and I see a lot of people leaning towards t3's instead of the force recons.

Curious as to why, other than the bubble immunity, someone would choose to use a t3 over, let's say, an Arazu? I checked the fit on MasL/Guntar's hunting tengu, and it comes in at around 45k ehp, which is paper thin in my opinion. If you check their hunter KB it dies, and quite often for a ship that runs in at 700m.

Wouldn't something like an Arazu with ASB be better than that? Fitting 2-3 damps means you are pretty much not getting locked, and having the 50% reduction in cyno time means it is only going to be sitting there for 30 seconds, instead of the 60 a t3 would be subjected to. With an ASB you should be able to tank about 600dps for 60 seconds between reloads.

Anyone able to steer me in the right direction on this one?

for example the hunter tengu:

Not sure what fit you're looking at but an XL deadspace shield booster can tank 1.5k+ forever (barring neuts)
fit for warspeed
bubble immune
etc
