Having been here since forever, here's my advice: (It's different than most)
First:
Get shield and armor upgrades to 3 each before anything else.
This gives you 15% more shield and armor base and is quick.
Second:
Get operation to 3 in whatever gun you like
Third:
Get lvl 1 in whatever suit you want, I recommend an actual suit such as assault, logi, sentinel, commando as these are cheaper than their base counterparts.
Fourth:
Get basic level of your tanking modules (shield and armor plates/extenders and reppers)
Fifth:
Get shield and armour upgrades to 4 each
Get shield extender/armor plates to 3 for adv level modules
Lastly:
Get electronics and engineering up as needed to allow you to fit basic/militia suits with basic weapons.
If you skill that way and run with a squad of a couple people you enjoy playing with the game will be much more enjoyable. This is also probably the most benefit you can get from early sp. Don't bother with level 5 of most any skill for quite some time, in your first couple months you'll be better served by getting things to lvl 3 as you'll get 60% of the bonus for only a small fraction of the cost.
Run basic suits with basic stuff on them and focus on the passive skills like armor and shield upgrades, weapon operation etc.
Once you have a basic suit with basic mods and adv hp mods for your tanking type, try to get basic level of more of the things you use like equipment or sidearms etc. You'll gain a lot in the way of playstyle choices with little investment and from there you can gradually bulk up where needed. If you really like your weapon you can further invest in passive benefits to it such as prof. ammo or reload. If you feel like you die when you just barely poke out of cover then prioritize hp mods and skills. If you want to be utility and move about the battlefield helping out, go for movement modules in dropsuit upgrades and get hacking mods/skill.
Balance sp investment vs. reward and remind yourself that the benefit of better weapons compared to their cost really isn't worth it until you have the passive skills and fitting to extend your alive time.
Lastly, rule of thumb, use a weapon one tier below your suit type. This helps with going isk positive immensely.
