...it's also on the verge of being a legalized cheat for the game. Nomad guns should never have been allowed in MP.

Just about any rig can benefit from an appropriate class of shield-busting weapon- for Class 9 and 10, that means the Tizona Del Cid people have mentioned. Other shield busters for lower classes(in case you should ever get bored of the overkill) include Borocco, Adv. Debilitator, Debilitator, Adv. Stunpulse, Stunpulse, etc.
For other guns, choose based on projectile speed and firepower; the faster the projectile the less time the enemy has to dodge it before it hits them. Usually every gun has an advantage and a disadvantage; try to choose ones that have the best ratings in these two categories. A fast refire is good too, since then if you miss you can fire again faster.
I'm gonna go out on a imb here and recommend that you NOT use any of the Codename guns- all of them have piss-poor refire rates, projectile speeds, and use a ton of energy for their firepower. Instead, there are two class 9 guns that actually outclass them; these are the Kraken II and the Skyblast B. Eah of these has been proven to do more damage per second than the highest rated codename gun, but they do it with a higher refire rather than a straight damage rating.
An alternative to the above shieldbuster gun would be an EMP type missile- those do tremendous shield damage per shot, but refire very slowly and are a lot harder to use correctly(slower projectile, limited ammo, easy to evade), but might be worth the extra money you spend.
I'm of the opinion that a missile launcher of some type can help out in most situations- try out any NON-stalker missile to see what pleases you(like the aforementioned EMP missiles or a armor missile, such as Catapult or Cannonball). The "specialty" launchers(Cruse disrupter/Torpedo) are always, always useful- Cruise disrupters more than torpedoes, actually, since they keep an opponent from running away.
