What are my options as far as skills, rigs, and fittings that will increase my mining yield?
Also, I think there are some bonuses based on what ship you fly but I'm not sure because there are so many.

There are various methods of increasing mining yield, through skills, upgrades and using mining crystals.
Skills that increase yield:
Implants that increase yield:
Ships that increase yield:
Fittings that increase yield:
Mining Foreman Links that increase yield:
In addition to the above, when you're using Modulated Strip Miners you can utilise mining crystals which will increase your mining yield while mining specific types of ore. There is one crystal per asteroid type.
The only ships with significant mining bonuses are Mining Barges and Exhumers Some droneboats have a bonus to mining drones, but that pales into insignificance when compared to the output of a barge. In terms of skills, obviously Mining Barge and/ or Exhumers has an impact, as does Mining and Astrogeology. In terms of modules, Modulated Strip Miner II with appropriate mining crystals will give the highest output, which can also be augmented with Mining Laser Upgrades.
