I saw somewhere that fitting BCS II and Faction BCS would avoid multiple stacking penalties. In other words, can I put 2 BCS II and 2 Faction BCS and avoid the massive penalty for the third and fourth modules?

True False?

Please and thank you!

False, they give the same type of bonus and as such both stack.

The only benefit of not using more faction, is that after the second....the bonus isnt very high. So to save yourself some isk only fit two faction and two t2, because the bonus of the third and fourth are going to be crap anyway.(crap but worth it to maximize dps, while minimizing cost)

This is the correct explanation. Not only do you save yourself some isk upfront, you also lower your chances of being a gank target and losing it all.

To avoid the stacking penalties, put a target painter on.

Same effect, different tool.

I personally use a 3/1 faction/t2 for dmg modules. 2/2 is fine as well. Just don't go full faction and your fine.
