Use this info to help you. Many people cut and paste it in their bio for quick access. You need to check the attributes of each ammo to see what damage type it does best. I don't run missions much but I seem to remember it saying somewhere what pirates you will be facing. Each area has it's own specific pirate gangs.

Damage Type To Shoot At The Enemy
Guristas - Kinetic
Serpentis - Thermal
Mordus - Thermal & Kinetic
Blood - Thermal
Sansha - Thermal
Angel - Explosive
Mercenary - Thermal
Amarr - EM & Thermal
Caldari - Kinetic & Thermal
Gallente - Thermal
Minmatar -Thermal

Guristas - Kinetic & Thermal

Mercenary - Kinetic, EM, Thermal & Explosive
Amarr - EM & Thermal
Caldari - Kinetic & Thermal
Gallente - Kinetic & Thermal
Minmatar - Kinetic & Explosive

I think you’ll find that most Serpentis rats are weaker to Kinetic damage than Thermal.

Also note that only Rockets and Projectile weapons can use any damage type. Lasers and Hybrid turrets are confined to only dealing two. For projectile weapons (also lists the secondary benefits of each ammo. Order is by DPS):

EMP - EM - Range -50%
Phased Plasma - Thermal - Range -50%
Fusion - Explosive - Range -50%
Titanium Sabot - Kinetic - Tracking x1.2
Depleted Uranium - Thermal/Explosive - -Tracking x1.2
Proton - EM/Kinetic - Range+60% Tracking x1.05
Nuclear - Explosive - Range+60% Tracking x1.05
Carbonized Lead - Kinetic - Range+60% Tracking x1.05

Most of the time, the faction you face is given in the agent mission description via an icon. On missions where this is not present or unclear, check http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReports to be sure, and for recommendations on which damage type to deal.
