For Orcas, the standard fit is a DC2 and a Reinforced Bulkhead II in the Low Slots and three Large Transverse Bulkead II rigs. This takes your ship from about 150k EHP up to about 420k EHP. The addition of some passive shield resistance amplifiers (2x EM, 1x Kinetic, 1x Thermal) will increase the EHP to about 450k without any shield skills. Replacing the passive Amplifiers with active Hardeners adds another bit of EHP but requires more attention and has no effect on alpha damage. Using Cargo rigs is discouraged since you lose about 170k EHP for a low amount of additional cargohold.

You should train Hull Upgrades IV and Mechanics IV (or better V) before undocking, being able to use a DCU II gives a really nice EHP boost and since you are almost full-hull-tank, the extra 5% from Mechanics V are also very nice. You should also consider using a 'Noble' ~~Mechanic implant~~ (Slot 8) which increase hull HP by anything from 1% up to 6%.

You should train [[Hull_Upgrades#Hull_Upgrades|Hull Upgrades IV]] and [[Mechanics#Mechanics|Mechanics IV]] (or better V) before undocking, being able to use a [[DCU#Damage_Control|DCU II]] gives a really nice EHP boost and since you are almost full-hull-tank, the extra 5% from Mechanics V are also very nice. You should also consider using a [[List_of_Skill_Hardwiring_Implants#Slot_8|Inherent Implants 'Noble' MC]] (Slot 8) which increase hull HP by anything from 1% up to 6%.

Blockade runners rely on good bookmarks, crafty use of their Covert Ops Cloak, [[MWD]], and not fitting anything that would increase signature radius (no shield extenders). Due to their use of a covops cloak, well-flown blockade runners can be almost impossible to catch in hi-sec / lo-sec. So they are a good choice for more expensive cargo runs. But they are also very flimsy and can easily be ganked if you leave them uncloaked at a gate.
