Spoilt for Choice - Propulsion System

Afterburner

Its more or less uncommon to fit an AB to bigger vessels, except when told so. Thats why I listed two good choices for frigates only.

A cheap version is a Limited 1mn Afterburner and its easy to fit. This Mod gives the most bang for the $$$ ! The second variant is the T2 1mn Afterburner. But it has much more skill requirements and it is expensive. I don't like this tech2 module much. I use it only when my ship is heavy plated or when sticking with a ship replacement plan.

• Fast ships (like Interceptor's) can fly over 1.200m/s
• and normal ships (like Assault Frigates) fly about 1.000m/s
• Every frigate that is flying much slower has a big plate fitted
• Every frigate that is flying significant faster has nanos fitted

To reach those speed with bigger vessels they need to relay on a Mwd.

Microwarpdrive

Most common way to engage an enemy is fitting a Mwd specially when using a vessel bigger than a Frigate. There is no need to fit an expensive tech2 Mwd, because they suck more capacitor in the long term. Tech2 Mwds are good for a quick speed injection and when deactivated the capacitor recharges a bit faster. Compared with the T1 variant the T2 version needs more Cpu and Power Grid, this should be a no go for skilled pvpers. Above I listed some Mwds that suck much less cap in the long term and they cost much less...

• Limited 1mn Microwarpdrive I
• Experimental 10mn Microwarpdrive I

Inertial Stabilizers

This modules are less common at pvp because of the signature increase. I know only one situation when using Inertial Stabilizers, and that is when fitting an oversize propulsion system.

Overdrive Injectors

Years ago this module was the best way to increase velocity, but with all the changes this modules are less common. You will have more benefit when using anofibers instead. Agility is the key! Anyway, when you like to use them then look for 'Local Hull' modules, because they give the most bang for your money. Compared with the T2 variant, it has 10m/s less speed only and agility is still the same.

Warp Core Stabilizer

This modules are only for blockade runners (stealth transporter), and all kind of haulers. When you need to deliver/haul some stuff then this are the modules to use, and you need at least two of them!
