Which is *your* favourite Cobra variant, and why?

To all Cobra pilots out there, which is your favourite Cobra variant, and why? I'm at the stage where I need to upgrade my basic but iron-assed Cobra to something with better performance. I've been getting outnumbered by pirates with lasers that seem to slice through my shields (shield booster, military shield and iron hide armour) in moments. Sometimes I can't even run away with injectors before they cut me down. I'm running the Random Hits OXP, and I want to continue with it.
After much effort, I have enough moolah to upgrade to an Asp Mk 2, but then I thought, why not stick to a Cobra?
So far, I know of these variants:
The best is, no doubt, the SuperCobra, followed by the ShieldTail/Phaze. But all three of these are way out of my budget.
The best of those within my budget seem to be the NJX Red and Commodore. I'll even have enough left over to iron ass the ship. But what do those of you with more experience think?
