The Virage is huge and slow. If you don't wnat to die horribly then for the love of all that is holy don't buy it.
My suggestion would be an eagle with civvy or zoner guns. You won't be treated with any hostility anywhere and can explore with ease. It's a nice ship, fast and agile, but a little lacking in power-plant.
The Spatial will get you very funny looks in omicron alpha, being IMG made, means the outcasts will treat you with a degree of hostility.
I honestly think the Eagle would be your best bet. I suggest you couple it with some zoner guns.
Been here since Discovery 4.77 (lurk mode engaged)

He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.
He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.
I fly a spatial. I think its the most unique looking ship in the game. It's got DECENT agility for a ship of that size. Increased fire power with the turrets that fire all directions, and 2 mine stops, with increased power output. It's a tank of a fighter.
