One thing to note is that in the announcement post, the hull series was mentioned as being one of, if not the most commonly seen ships in the 'verse. I'm not going to be upset if I see a ton of hull series ships flying around, seeing as the vast majority of spaceflight will likely be commerce related, and what better to do commerce in than a hauler of some sort? There will definitely be places for the taurus, Banu MM, freelancer, caterpiller and even cutlass pilots, though; anyone who discounts these ships based solely on their reduced payloads is a fool who isn't thinking of smaller, more focused hauling missions, such as armed mercantile, smuggling, combat resupply, or any other number of jobs that the hull line simply is not fit to carry out.

I just pulled the trigger on my Herald, Farewell you goofy looking data runner. Hello Hull B, you goofy looking space truck.

Picked up 3 Hull B's with the idea of 1. working out a coop sharing profits with another testie. or 2. renting/leasing them. I expect to be busy exploring in my Carrack or bounty hunting with my Redeemer.

Part of me says
'grab a whole wack of Hull A's for CCU later'
' Buy the Hull D for Orion'
Other part says ' buy the Hull E and git er done'

At this point you really can't go wrong with any ships you buy. I bought a Hull C, downgraded it to a B and then read Tooter's post and bought a Hull A. If you want something to grab for CCU fodder, get a Reliant when it comes out. It is 'supposed' to be the 3rd starter ship. Hopefully it will have the price of one.
As for the whole Orion and Hull D thing I think of it like the Hulk and Orca combo from Eve but I'd be more interested in 3-4 Orions using a Hull E as their dump ship instead when you need to get an op done and over with fast.

6 hull A's (ccu/upgrade fodder) and a Hull E in my hanger, all non LTI ships were axed.
I don't really expect the Hull to survive if the Endeavor and/or Crucible peak my interest
