First off, may I congratulate you on your excellent choice of race to fly. The Winmatar are the most versatile of all the races, fitting practically every fleet setup there is, and still being efficient in what they do.
Now, about the ships and setups:
In wormhole classes 1 to 4 tengu is the king, even after the HML nerf. Maybe not by so large a margin anymore but it still rocks. Skilling for the tengu isn't necessary, but if you want to maximize your efficiency, the tengu is what you need to go for. Some stricter corps might even require that from you.
Although you will start small now, I assume you will eventually end up moving to the "top", that is class 5 or 6 wormholes. Here the main isk comes from capital escalation sites, which are done (when done correctly) with exactly three types of ships: carriers, dreadnoughts and lokis. So in here the tengu becomes pretty much obsolete. Most of the larger WH corps and alliances fly armor fleets anyway.
So, in general, specialization is good, but don't overdo it. Eventually, you are 99% likely to cross train into something, so if you read all minmatar related skills to 5, and you then move on to flying a moros or an archon, you have wasted months to train for something that you are not going to spend much time flying in the end. Select a few key skills to max, those which give the most results for the time consumed. and keep in mind, that ships change, corps change, fleet setups change, and you always need to be able to cope with those changes. Much easier when you only have 3 months worth of training down the drain, rather than 3 years.
PvP is a completely different story, and here the options are far more versatile than in PvE. Any race, when flown correctly, can be great, although caldari is a bit of an underdog here.
I hope these ramblings were helpful, they were written in a pretty tired state, so they most likely aren't the most coherent post there is. :P |

vonDuck and Miyah, thank you for your great (and detailed) analysis. I am working on faction standing right now, so I can get a cheap (read) empty jumpclone, and then I'll attempt my first foray into a WH solo. I am sure it will end in a great ball of fire, but it will be glorious ; )
