Common PvP Implants
Skill hardwirings that are useful for PvP are what most EVE players commonly think of when they think of "implants." Until very recently as of this writing, these implants were sorted on the market by the slot they took. Recently, this has been changed so that they are sorted by the bonus they grant. Still, it is often most convenient when building a clone to do so in terms of selecting one implant for each slot from six to ten.
Below is a table of the common PvP implants sorted by slot, and then in rough order of preference for each slot. In other words, implants that are more desirable are generally listed before implants that are less desirable. This list is not comprehensive but instead covers the most common selections for each slot. Rote Kapelle member Namamai was very helpful in putting together this table. Thanks, Nam!
Of course, these implants are not only for PvP; they can be quite useful for PvE as well, particularly PvE that involves ratting, incursions, wormhole ops, and running sites and plexes of all types.
The NPC company that "produces" each implant has been removed from the table for convenience. When searching for a particular implant, it is easiest to search for the final 5-6 letter code. For instance, if a Zainou 'Gypsy' Electronics EE-6## implant is what you're after, just search the market for "EE-6" and you'll be presented all the options.

The bonus for each implant is specified, and is variable based on the quality of implant chosen. For instance, the 'Rogue' Navigation NN-6 implant increases your ship's base velocity by between 1% and 6% depending on the quality of that implant chosen. In each case, the double-hash tag ("##") represents the percentage bonus desired. Normally, these bonuses are 1%, 3%, and 5%. However, specialty CONCORD implants exist for most of them as well in 2%, 4%, and 6% versions. The CONCORD implants, however, tend to be significantly more expensive than the standard types and their prices are much more variable.
Each bonus is applied to the ship characteristic mentioned. The bonuses are flat, and stack with all other bonuses applied without additional stacking penalty. For instance, if a ship has 15000 armor HP and a 'Noble' Hull Upgrades HG-1003 implant is used, the ship will have 15450 armor, 15000 * 1.03. Note in particular that each weapon system has the opportunity to receive two bonuses: a rate of fire bonus from one implant and a damage bonus particular to each weapon type from a second implant. As an example, Heavy Missiles receive a damage bonus from a slot seven implant and a rate of fire bonus from a slot ten implant.
