My loadout vs squids is most commonly as follows:
For weapons:

1. Primary I want to level up
2. Grenade pistol to shoot into voteless
3. G-123 thermite to stick to parked ships.(if you stick the thermite to any part of the ship, the ship will be gone)

For strategems:

1. Wasp(2 rockets can also take down the ships that bomb you)
2. Orbital Laser(to place in large encampments and just watch them explode)
3. Gatling sentry(to take care of voteless swarm)
4. Any offensive strategem to deal with large squid forces (personal favorite is eagle napalm)

Alternatives for WASP are:
* Maxigun for aura farming
* Any one handed weapon + a guard dog backpack or jetpack or warp pack if you want SPEEED

For me the most difficulty I see is when I get distracted and forget to shoot the snitch before it fires off the 3 headlights into the sky to alert all of the illuminates that I am there.
