Once you've chosen the hull you'll be using for PvP, you'll obviously need to fit it. Afterburners and active tanks reign supreme, in the authors estimation, for a few reasons.

Afterburners do not make your signature radius bloom, nor do they become deactivated by warp scramblers. If you're flying a frigate, you'll usually ~~being~~ fighting inside scram range, and the extra speed that an afterburner offers is very welcome, as is a teensy signature radius. The reason is simple. The monstrous DPS that your hypothetical enemy possesses only works if they can hit you. Speed, combined with a close orbit and small signature bloom, turn the eft warrior's paper DPS into a much smaller number.

Active tanks allow for prolonged engagements, and reduce the likelihood of you dying to frigates that fight outside of scram range. Frigates that fight outside of scram range and apply kiting tactics usually do little dps, and instead rely on their ability to whittle you down. If you're repping it back, you're more survivable. If you're buffer fit, you're screwed. Sometimes a kiting enemy will become frustrated with your tenacity, and enter your scram range in order to hit harder. BOOM, now they're fighting on your terms.
