I'd go with something closer to the first setup, but I don't think you need the 3 falloff rigs (they're getting hit hard by diminishing returns). I'd drop the boost amp for a tracking computer and if you want more tank, fit a faction XL booster. For the rigs, you can then fit a burst aerator II like in your second fitting and then 2 extra rigs to taste. Perhaps something to help with cap, so that you aren't burning through quite as many 800 charges - lots of options there.

I just like afterburners for missions in general. There are a handful of missions that require you to fly 20-40+km to reach a warp gate and the Mael in particular is a slow hunk of junk (it's Minmatar... I mean that in a loving way). There are other missions where you need to loot a cargo container/wreck and you'll appreciate the afterburner.

Personally i would go with more dps since the mealstrom have the shieldboost bonus, depending on rangevand sutch i'd say you need at least 50km effective range and then as mutch dps as possible.
