I'll try the assaults. Most of my experience is with the Minmatar so of other users want to comment or correct, be my guest. Also, remember that these are just my opinions and observations, you're free to fit however you want or to fit a certain situation and are not confined to a certain weapon either.
Minmatar:
+: Very customizable, can fit viable shield and armor tanks (usually 450/450 with maxes about 550 and 600 iirc); very fast (rivals scout); CR and SMGs are excellent weapons and get an amazing bonus
-: Relatively low on ehp, no bonus to MD or FL :(, needs a lot of SP to be fully utilized (armor, shield, and biotic skills)
Tactics: Hit-and-run/ambush shield tank or high-damage armor tank are typical
Amarr:
+: High armor ehp (ADV can easily push 1k), ScR is good with good bonus
-: Slow, low repair for armor amount, no sidearm bonus, ScR has trouble against heavily armored suits (heavies), almost requires a Logi
Tactics: Head on assaults/ brawling
Caldari:
+: Excellent shield tank with high hp and regen (+700 at 80/s iirc), very mobile (not as much as Min), reload bonus for Magsec and BP
-: Very susceptible to lasers, flux, and blasters, lackluster weapon systems and bonuses (though change is in the wind)
Tactics: Kiting with cover (stay out of range and duck and regen when hit), ARR is ok up close I believe.
Gallente
+: Good armor buffer with excellent regen (+600 and +25-30/s), ARs are good at many ranges with minimal SP (AR, Tac, Breach, and even Burst is excellent now as well) with a decent bonus, mostly self-sufficient (no Logi needed to rep)
-: No sidearm bonus (lolionpistol), slower, trades ehp for rep (which, while constant, is a bit low), AR has some trouble against armor.
Tactics: brawl with cover (get close and duck away to rep)
Dust is there! I was real!

Correction: max hp - 707 shp @ 30shp/s, Lightweight suit (no movement penalty) however poor stamina. Shield regulator usage recommended as armor tanking is not viable on a Cal suit and extends penalize depleted recharge time. Reload bonus to Rail, Assault Rail, Magsec, and Bolt (sorry, i only know cal suits well and i wanted to help out too  )
Thanks, made the numbers more accurate.
Magsec and BP were mentioned to emphasize the bonus to sidearms.

Case in point: the Cal scout is now worthless at finding enemies given that its precision and range bonuses are now literally and virtually taken away. It has the best range... The only difference Cal scouts who still stack shield extenders can't see everything around them like they use to.
No, it's crap.
The numbers barely keep up with a Logi in terms of range and the precision is effectively the same (can scan meds, can't scan scouts). The effective scan range is barely 30m which is totally unusable for recon.
This coming from a dedicated scan scout since its conception. The Cal scout is nothing more than a light assault that can dampen.
