Sleeper damage is omni-damage, and same with their resists, so you might as well use whatever damage type you do the most damage with (since it doesn't matter otherwise), and you need to setup your tank as an omni-tank. With the recent changes to Sleepers (turning on their NOS/Neut effects), if you don't fly Caldari ships, you won't survive running sites. You can still get by in a drake solo for C3 wormhole sites as long as there is no wormhole effect which reduces shield resists, or increases weapon damage.
Most wormholes do not have effects in them, but you should ALWAYS lookup the wormhole on one of the many websites like dot-lan or wormhole thingy, etc., to check its status.
I've been living in a C4 wormhole for the last 6 months or so now, so I have a bit of experience with them. ALWAYS keep d-scan open and watching it. Even if you are in a normal site, you can be scanned down without probes as the ship scanner can see them, and someone who is skilled with d-scan and the ship scanner can find you pretty quickly without popping probes, so you can have a few recon and covert ops ships drop on you at any given time, so just be wary.
It is a lot of fun, but you need to go in there pretty much expecting to lose the ship(s) you take in with you. I have been pretty fortunate with my luck, but I know others have not been in my corp. If you want to run C4 sites, you will need at least 3 remote-repping tengus. You "can" run some select sites with just a tengu and a drake, but the drake will be warping in/out (since its tank will not hold very long), and you will need to have the "stars align", so to speak, to break the sleeper remote-rep chains (you will have to basically switch targets a lot and get the sleepers to spread their remote reps across multiple ships and then you can sometimes pop one of the reppers by quickly concentrating fire on it, and you may need to overload your launchers so keep some nanite paste around). Really, if you don't have 3 tengus or equivalent dps (5 T2 heavy missile launchers, scourge fury and/or precision missiles, with 3 caldari navy balistic control systems, and caldari offensive systems V), you won't be able to break the sleeper tanks. I think if you have 5 rr drakes with a logi ship you will be fine as well.
People in the past were able to use legions, but now with the nos/neuts you just are not cap stable enough (or lose too much dps) to make them worth while to fly. Armor tanking can still be done, but you will typically need 2 logistic ships if you want to really do it (with the logistic ships needing to be 2 gaurdians with 1 energy transfer going to each ship (since they get a bonus for energy transfer in that it transfers more energy than it takes to power/activate the energy transfer array), and then armor reps on the ships that need it).
