Hehe, that's really nice to hear! Just going out into the void and exploring the unknown has been one of the best experiences I've ever had in a video game, and discovering something big really makes you feel great! Have fun out there!
I absolutely love everything about the DBX; the maneuverability, the jump range, the versatility, and especially the helicopter like look. I think the only problem I have with it is that I can't really fit all of the optional modules I want on it for a long term expedition, but it's always the ship I use when exploring close to the bubble or just going anywhere that doesn't involve staying for months outside of colonized space
Krait Phantom is nice, you really can fit most of stuff you want inside, and it is not pig to fly 
Well, the only reason I didn't use the Krait Phantom is because I personally think that it's the ugliest ship in the game, and as you can tell, I take a lot of 3rd person pictures with my ship in the foreground. I'd probably go mad within the first week of that based on how hard it would be to make a picture of the Phantom actually photogenic
Well looks are question of taste, here is mine with wear and tear during my Ishum's Reach trip
Sell to lots of them, spread it around. One good one is Sirius Corp for the permit. Some engineers take explo data for access rep.
If you have a home system, fly to neighboring systems and staitons to raise rep with the controlling faction. A controlling faction at one station will likely be a minor faction at a number of other stations. By spreading it around, you'll soon have allied status with a bunch of factions in the region resulting in more and better missions on offer. This is what I do. On this Colonia trip, I sold it to eight different stations in the area, quickly raising rep in the neighborhood.

To unlock Palin, he requires the prospective applicant has flown at least 5,000 light years from his or her starting system. You'll do that easily. When I did my Palin trip several years back, I remember I used some of the data to get allied with Mother Gaia and with Achenar. If you will always be nomadic, it may not matter all that much where you sell it.
I think you'll need around 6 mil to go from 'nice to meet you' to allied status

What type of rank?
Faction rep yes. Superpower ranks, no, you need to run missions for factions aligned with that superpower, or do the donation missions, trading cash for rep..
Pilot's federation ranks are a little different. Selling exploration data will boost your exploration rank for example.
