I'm currently boosting rankings and running L2 missions for the SoE. I'm doing this using a Cormorant, which works just fine.
However, I should begin training for my next PvE ship, if I want to do L3 and up missions.
The question is: What (Caldari!) ship should I train for?

I'm leaning more towards Hybrid Turrets, by the way.

Moa, since I assume you are using hybrid turrets.

Or the Caracal, if you want to try out missiles.

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

there are quite few ships that match what you want (I list all ships that use Hybrid like you want)

T1
Moa - Caldari Cruiser
Fefox - Caldari Battlecruiser
Rokh - Caldari Battleship

Then there are T2 version that are quite capable for L3 mission
Harpy - Assault Frigate (T2 Frigate)
Eagle - Heavy Assault Cruiser (T2 Cruiser)
Vulture - Command ship (T2 Battlecruiser)

however, there are no T2 Caldari Battleship that use Hybrid weapon.

choice in Caldari ships is quite a limited if you want to focus on Hybrid.

but if you really want to focus on Hybrid, I recommend that you try Gallente as they are Hybrid-focused ships

Rohk is a respectable hybrid BS. It will take a fair amount of time to master it. But it pays off.

The Moa to me just seems logical, since you have Hybrid skills already and the Moa is a step away from the Commorant.

Stick to your strengths, it will help you progress in the game much faster.

Staying with Caldari your progression will be
Merlin --> Cormorant --> Moa --> Ferox --> Rokh

Primary Training will be - Shields and Hybrid Turrets
Secondary Training will be - Drones


Your other option is
Kestrel --> Corax --> Caracal --> Drake --> Raven

Primary Training will be - Shields and Missile Launchers
Secondary Training will be - Drones



For cross-training purposes (worry about this later, when you are comfortable in your Caldari BS of choice)
Gallente - add Armour Tanking (and Hybrid Turrets if you went missile as primary)
Amarr - add Amour Tanking and Laser Turrets
