As already mentioned, you cannot increase the DSTs' fleet hangar's capacity through fitting. Thus an important fitting aspect for hauling ships is already taken out of the equation. The other important aspects are travel speed and safety. Safety can be achieved by being tanky or slippery.

DSTs struggle with the [[Cloak trick|MWD + cloak trick]] due to their long align time. You either have to heat the MWD or improve your align time through fittings. Nevertheless, a MWD + cloak trick oriented fit is doable and should be prioritized. Warp core stabs work especially well on DSTs due to their already increased warp core strength. [[Interdiction nullifier]] modules are very useful if you want to take it to space where [[Tackling#Warp disruption fields|bubbles]] are allowed (i.e. nullsec, wormhole space, and Pochven). Note that [[Electronic warfare#Burst ~~Jammers~~|burst jammers]] disable nullification. Still if you don't need nulli, you might want to fit a burst jammer to shake off tackle in case you get caught.

In highsec, you might rather go down a buffer tank route so you are simply not worth to suicide gank. The DSTs' bonus to overheating resistance modules (shield and armor hardeners) helps to fit a strong buffer tank. But you also have to make sure that you actually turn them on and overheat them.
