Rigger 101, Essential Drone/Equipment load out? Options

[Krrayn]

I've done some forum searching, and maybe I'm just not finding the right stuff, but here's the deal. I'm starting a new (400 BP) character and I want to play a Rigger. I'm stumped on what drones, mods, and equipment make a "good" rigger. I know that Shadowrun rules and excessive equipment and modification options makes for an uncountable number of potential specializations, but I'd like to get dumpshock's consensus on what makes a good "starting" generic adaptable rigger.

In other words, what sorts of vehicles, drones, mods for both, autosofts, etc., do you think "every rigger should have"?

My searches have turned up interesting means of tweaking the hell out of the rules and maximizing opportunities based on rules combinations or inconsistencies that eventually end up being "if your GM is insane enough to allow it." I'm not looking for that. I've also found some endless arguments over the merits and flaws of software pirating and degradation that degenerate into hacker debates. Not looking for that either.

What I need is advice from experienced players on a flexible load out for a guy who:

(a) can drive
(b) can repair
© can rig/control/command

and what drones to use for different situations.

How would you spend your starting 250,000 nuyen?

Thanks in advance.
