A Sensor Booster will increase your scan resolution (helping you lock enemies quicker) or your targeting range. You can use a Scan Resolution script to get even faster locking with lower targeting range, or a Targeting Range script to get even longer targeting range with a penalty to your locking time. If you fit a Sensor Booster you should load one script (probably Scan Resolution) and carry the other one in your cargo for quick swapping if necessary.

There are other options: a Large Shield Extender can give you a bit more buffer to survive in time to warp out if you're primaried, without slowing you down like an armor plate would; a fifth jammer helps you cause even more mayhem at the cost of the utility module you could otherwise have fitted in its place; if the enemy often field their own ECM ships, you may want to fit an ECCM module.

There are other options: a Large Shield Extender can give you a bit more buffer to survive in time to warp out if you're primaried, without slowing you down like an armor plate would (a LSE will, however, increase your signature radius, making it easier to lock and hit you); a fifth jammer helps you cause even more mayhem at the cost of the utility module you could otherwise have fitted in its place; if the enemy often field their own ECM ships, you may want to fit an ECCM module.

There is no one perfect fit that will work in all situations, and with experience you will be able to more accurately guess which kind of fit will suit a particular fleet. You can't go far wrong with four racial jammers, a Sensor Booster and a MWD.
