All of what you have mentioned is possible. It depends on your relationship with other pilots.  
A few years ago you would only train for the orca, if you want to boost your own mining alts.  
But nowadays the orca is the best afk miner. Not as effective as exumers, but takes 3 hours to fill and pretty safe against ganks if fitted correctly.
