Using a mwd to evade sniper fire is probably not a good idea. You would likely have a better chance to evade sniper fire using a good afterburner.
I put it in the turret guide on eve-o just to see for example. I used the oneiros for an example. Logistics ships have a real nice sig radius so are pretty ahrd to hit. With an afterburner 2, no other speed mods, and great skills, a 425ii rail just seems to have roughly a 45-50% chance to hit at best range. Within 60km the transversal just gets too high. With MWD running, the chance at optimal to hit is about 85%, with ship having a much higher range of distance with good chance to hit.
MWDs are not used to avoid being hit. They are used for getting somewhere fast, and only for that. If you want to make your ship hard to hit, fit implants to reduce sig radius, and fit Afterburner and mod/rig for speed. You should be able to without terribly much difficult get fast enough to avoid most sniper fire. With a MWD, you simply would be too huge a target for their guns.
