A such, I've come up with a 3x3 grid that I like. You get to choose from 3 levels of armoring (none=5hp, light=15hp & heavy =35hp), and three levels of warhead (none=AM/AF, explosive AF/AS, nuclear AF/AS)

Each level up in one of those categories slows down the missile, improves its damage and/or damage resistance, increases cost, supply use, and more as applicable.

I've also mananged to make the anti-missile, anti-fighter and anti-ship damage blend nicely, so the AF and AM missiles don't need to be distinct. In fact, the unarmored explosive missile is right in the middle range where it could reasonably be used against heavy missiles and lightly shielded ships.
I have limited the missiles to the most sensible target types, so you can't fire the slow nukes at missiles(too slow to catch 'em), and you can't fire the wimpy AM missiles at ships (No damage past leaky shields).

Still testing, but quite nifty so far!

I had ideas very similar to this for my Star Fleet Battles mod and the different Drones/Missiles that SFB has...

Very Cool...can't wait...
