Frankly anything small and fast will likely do better... if you can fly it and aim. But everyone has different styles and every ship has its own advantages. Personally I like the Titan and the Manta for shooting things... and a Werewolf, if you can land your first tartarus shot the sammies eat hull very nicely, but the ship is massive.
I will always main a Collector though, just because it fits my main character's RP and my playing style. If you can get those two things to match you are all set.
