Mining missions are pretty much only used in order to cycle around to Storylines quickly.

As with any mining activity, I'd suggest a tanky procurer or skiff/

Thought this was going to be about ORE (the faction) nullsec missions...
There are no ORE level 4 missions you see.

as for level 4 MINING missions you might need to use a procurer, venture or somesuch.
look at the mission reports if the mining mission has any NPCs you need to worry about.

Given that all ORE agents are in null, I would generally advise against running these missions in the first place. The main "appeal" of mining missions is that they can be done semi-AFK, which is a bad idea in NPC null as well as anywhere else apart from quiet hisec backwaters.

First rule of EVE UI: right click EVERYTHING.

level 1-3 mining missions - venture-prospect. prospect better, a lot. you mine only ore
level 4 - retiever/macinaw for ore/ice (20-22k m3 ore/ice or ~45k m3 ore) and combat BC for gas harvest, you will fight rogue drones (up to BC, rare BS)
Profit is much more than belt mining, lvl 3 is almost equal to lvl 4 by profit.
