You could mine with anything, really, but in my opinion something as large and clumsy as an anaconda would probably make it harder than it needs to be; keep in mind you have to scoop up your refined goods. There are also fuel concerns - you would need to mine more tonnage per visit to your mining site to justify the cost of getting there and back to the market, and the process won't go any faster simply because of a larger ship. Margins on mining are already quite high, so there's really no significant need to transport more tonnage per mining trip. I use a Cobra for mining, myself, and I find it to be an idea balance of storage capacity, fuel efficiency, and convenience/versatility. To figure out what's best for you, I'd recommend finding out how long you like to spend mining in one session, then finding the most economical ship with a cargo capacity to match. =)
