In your ships, do you actually have fun in them? You know without resorting to PvP'ing?
Yes ... I totally enjoy gunboats. Anything larger is too clumsy to fly. If I need something huge it's usually gonna be something to move cargo with.
I also enjoy flying smaller vessels ... fighters and freighters. Freighters are quite good for role playing a research vessel. Yup ... I actually have a Researcher ID on one. Got no real need for bombers and such. Bombers in the hands of indies just means PVP is about to begin.
Gunboats are best for piracy due to the large number of huge-mega-trade-vessels out there. And to me its more realistic to have a gunboat than a bomber for this. For one ... the gunboat has a lot more cargo space to actually pirate the traders for cargo with. Plus ... bombers are short ranged vessels that would need to stay close to base in order to resupply, refuel and such.
