Ideally you want a T2 Covops ship for pure exploration. You can usually fit them to align just as fast at half the cost. An Astero that doesn't bite back is underutilized.
Warp core stabilizers are not ideal either. The stabs count will only work against hunting ships with 1 standard scram. Usually the hunters that use 1 slot for scram tend to go with faction scram that have 3 points. Others tend to go with 2 scrams like the fit I mentioned above. Moreover, warp core stabs affect the exploration experience by increasing lock times and reducing targeting range.
Also having good align times might not mean much if you're idling while hacking, I tend to bump my targets when getting out of decloak to allow cloak targeting delay to complete while the target is unable to warp.
