i think it really depends on what space you live. i can only comment on wormhole space

my favorite is the legion. it locks fast, has excellent tank and puts its damage down really nice against every kind of target.
Loki's are just 1 ship fits all. it can be shield or armor, cloaky work, scanning work, and everyone loves long range webs.
proteus are awesome to fly, but more circumstantial i think. If youre fighting battleships, capitals or just a few ships they can turn out massive dps. however the range on them is tiny, around 5k, which means that if there are more targets and further apart they wont be nearly as efficient and will get consistently beaten by loki's and legions in putting the damage down on targets.

The tengu is a bit of a special case. most wormhole fleets tend to be armor, and there it can fill a roll of ecm tengu, very specialised.
If however you fly in shield setups its an excellent ship that is easy to fit, has good tank and good damage.

In general i suppose the loki is best if you just train for a single T3 because its the most versatile. If youre not limited, id train for legion and tengu to cover both shield and armor.

actually, just get all of them. T3's are awesome

In nullsec, perhaps the best T3 is not a T3, but something cheaper that you can lose to blobs. Or any T3 that your follows your blob doctrine.

In lowsec, 100MN AB Tengu fares well. Loki might be solid choice as well, I don't normally fly my Proteus there due to vulnerability to kiting.

In w-space, the Proteus is a real beast, both as a cloaky (solo, heavy tackle, general pew) and in logi gangs, in which Legion also works well.

In hisec retardation faggotry brick slaved Proteus with Legion links, pair of neutral Guardians and 7 Falcon alts so you too can be the king of the undock.





Loki FTW !

The best all around T3 and thx to XL ASB this ship that could already hit for over 600dps keep mwd+large pithy shield booster and be cap stable just became a pure T3 murderer.

Generous PG+generous slots layout+not the best raw dps but a variety of ammo making it preferable to others+Tengu natural predator and now with some double XL-ASB's you can simply murder heavy tanked Proteus with a vicious loud smile in your face.
