I'm going to share my current favorite fit for general slayin'. Yes, it's a Logi slayer. Hate away, but as it stands, at least for the Amarr, it's blatantly better than assaults. Requires CPU and PG core skills to be at 2.
NB: This is the dark side to the guide I wrote on my alt. Rather than playing the stealthy flanker's EWAR game, this one is brute force- it doesn't matter if people know where you are, because you're equally well informed on their location. This negates the EWAR aspect and makes the game back into "who has more DPS/EHP?", which this suit will win against most people in most pubs, including a proto heavy outside of ~15M. Basically you want to do the opposite of flanking- abuse your scanner and EHP to get 1-2 front-line picks at a time, then retreat, rep, and repeat.

Without further ado:
Amarr Logistics A/1
GEK-38 Assault Rifle
'Toxin' ICD-9 Submachine Gun
M1 Locus Grenade
2x Complex Shield Extender
1x Enhanced Shield Extender
3x Basic Armor Plates
2x Compact Nanohive
1x A-45 Quantum Active Scanner
Why this suit with these items?
Can't beat that 3/3/3 slot layout, including a sidearm, at ADV level. The only other 3/3/3 is the M/1 Logi, but no SMG means that in an extended CQC fight, an assault would have the advantage. No ADV assault has 3 highs + 3 lows, either.
750+ EHP. (~300 shields + ~450 armor)
The two most overpowered-in-their-role weapons in the game. Full auto bullet hoses win every time with current patch state.
The A-45 active scanner is best piece of equipment in the game. There's no substitute for being able to see through walls. Generally, it'll cut at least half a second off of your time between someone coming around a corner and you filling their face with plasma, and with current AR DPS that's enough to ensure that you win most fights.
The compact nanohives are critical. Use them in between fights to quickly rep your armor when there's no friendly LogiBro nearby. Each one will restore all your armor, plus about 3 grenades worth of ammunition.
And the best part? All that for only 39,975 ISK, less than 1/4 the price of a fully kitted proto suit, for a very small drop in DPS and about -100 EHP. In a head-to-head fight, it's capable of going toe to toe with tanked-out protobears, with a solid chance of winning if you play the scanner right.
