Using 3 accounts, what is the most effective combination of professions? Keeping in mind that my current goal is low sec mining and my final goal will probably be 0.0.
I have a Gallente hauler heading for a Hulk, a Gallente heading for a battleship and a Caldari who is just about to get his first cruiser.
This game rocks.

well skip low sec and just go to 0.0, it must be secured 0.0 to work but all you need is 2x maxed out hulks with an orca giving bonuses and hauling and your good to go.

I was thinking a hulk and 2 battleships would keep the average pirate group from making trouble.
Also I wouldn't have to wait for corp to go mining.

I dream with a 0.0 mining-trio myself
It would be a Hulk, an Orca and a Rokh, and you got great mining yield, cargohold, security and some pew pew all together!

how not?
at least it will resist way more than a fragile Hulk, while it can get a decent yield (better than a Retriever).

Ratting in 0.0 will get you more ISK and makes you move more risking less then sitting in a belt for several hours. (belts in 0.0 have ore in them unlike the high sec veld belts that have nearly nothing in them)
Of course in a "secure" 0.0 mining can be quite profitable, certainly if you don't do it with just your 3 accounts but bring at least one extra BS to tank the rats. Mining a 0.0 system with say 20 hulks is very fast and assuming you have the cargohold or haulers to move the stuff you will most certainly make good ISK doing so.
The most important thing about making lots of ISK is stay safe, as soon as you start risking your ship you start risking not just the loss of the ship and the cost of replacing it but also the time it costs to replace the ship and the added risk of letting your local PvP faction know you are an easy target, making them more likely to seek you out again and again. For high income max out what ever you do, damage and tank if it is missioning, yield if it is minning, trading skills if it is trade and above all do'n risk your ship as the cost of replacing is more then just the direct ISK cost of the components you lost.

"Secure" 0.0 mining has been mentioned a few times here. What do you think is needed to keep a sector secure?

Shadows of XXdeathXX whatever name is pretty safe if you play sm-art.
and as for battleships, they'll only protect you from NPCs other than that 2-3 pirates will tear up your setup here.

You dont need a BS to tank rats in 0.0 we do this with a hulk or sometimes in an inty you just need to pick the right spawn

Good advice all.
I will continue to push my skills up and then start looking for a corp large enough to provide some protection.
It looks like in the meantime, it's hi-sec mining for me. That's ok, I like omber...really...

If you have the right skills trained you can tank ALL rats in 0.0 in a hulk. Just make sure you have a faction shield booster and the right resists... T2 drones help to take out the spawns that eat you down slowly.

2 hulks and one orca with full fleet boost would be better than 3 hulks.

Actually, the Orca isn't worth it until you have 4 Hulks. 4 Hulks + 1 Orca > 5 Hulks. ---

3 skiffs with one able to fly an orca for hauling = $$$$$

Right now I'm at Retreiver, Dominix and Badger 2. Should have my first Hulk in about 3 weeks. The other two will take a while.

skiffs? seriously? stop that...
as for the best setup, 3 maxxed hulks could get you 1940m¦/min for two of them, and 1847m¦/min for the Mining Foreman, netting 5727m¦/min, minus hauling time.
2 maxxed hulks and a maxxed orca pilot could give you 2276m¦/min per hulk, netting 4552m¦/min with a lot less hauling time, and even less impact from the hauling time you DO have. The ease of the 2hulk + orca, for me, would make me lean that way.

What pew pew can you get from a rokh loaded with mining lasers?

Maybe if you have a hauler on top of that as well as your Orca pilot not using a Mindlink. An Orca servers the dual purpose of hauling as well as boosting. With 3 hulks you are going to be spending more time dropping ore off somewhere and warping around than you will mining, unless you sacrifice yield/minute for cargo space.

mining mercoxit > all. skiff's specialize in it. sure a hulk can mine it too but the crystals decay so fast it gets to be a major pain.
