The first four increase your power grid; the MAPC is for greatly increasing grid on frigates - and is almost mandatory on every shield tanked frigate - and the RCU is for greatly increasing grid on ships bigger than frigates. The ~~third and fourth~~ increase your CPU. In general, try to use the rig first before sacrificing a valuable low-slot module. '''Under almost no circumstances is fitting more than two fitting mods a good choice.''' If you find yourself fitting more than two fitting mods, you have probably made an incorrect choice in your ship fit somewhere. Fit meta 4 shield extenders or plates; reduce the number of shield extenders or plates; or reduce the guns you have chosen by one grade, from (for instance) neutron blasters to ion blasters, or from 425mm autocannons to 220mm autocannons.

As you adjust the fit of your ship, do not be afraid to change some of the modules from T2 to meta modules, usually meta 4 modules. This most often applies to Shield Extenders, your Damage Control, your point or scram, and your afterburner if not already meta (microwarpdives should never be T2). These changes will give you back a couple of percent of power grid or CPU here and there and are often all that's needed to bring a fit into line if the fit is close. It is usually not a good idea to change your resistance modules for meta modules; they are far less effective than T2 modules.
