Best ranged weapon to go with would be the rifle due to it's increased range over the other weapon types. So far as good stats, I don't really know what to say there. I've heard of T21s with around 500 Modified DPS but so far the best rifle I have is a Tusken Rifle with about 425 DPS. Advanced Sniper Shot can be quite damaging whenever coupled with Stopping Shot and a couple good snares/knockdowns.

Your not listing youe SAC cost... for BH this is all important, dur to the fact it's going to be a LONG fight and you need to be able to stay in it!
Forget all the crud about DPS... your not a dragster, your an Indi car lots and lots of laps to win this race..

yup the trick is negotiating between max damage and sac cost. Well actually sac cost first, then max damage...
DPS doesn't mean squat if you run out of action. Which in a prolonged fight, we pretty much have to set up our attacks so we [i]don't[/i] run out of action.. hence DPS is not very important to us..

Until they fix elemental damage, I'd say number 3. After elemental damage is fixed, 1 or 2... too close for me to call with out some calculation (darn my engineering mind).

The stupid question is the one you don't ask....
You hitbetter with the FWG5 because it's a kinetic damage weapon. You lose your defenses because when you take a rifle out of your hands, you lose the inherant bonuses that the skill boxes give you.
The reason the kinetic seems to do more harm despite it's lower accuracy, maximum damage, and DPS is because most Jedi are stacked up against Energy. Lightsabers are energy and so are most of the weapons used consistently in PvP. You might try getting yourself an LD-1 or Fallan Hyper Rifle (my personal choice). They are quest reward items, and you can find instructions/descriptions on how to get them from Alakahzam or the Rifleman forum easily.
They will do you much better since you will have your rifleman bonuses back, combined with a much better weapon in terms of damage output, dps, etc. My Fallan, sliced and pup'd is somewhere just over 1200 max damage. I do about 500-800 damage with critical shot and about 1000-1200 damage with a sniper shot against most jedi. By comparison, my Trandoshan Hunting Rifle is 1318 max damage, but does 300-500 with critical and 700-900 with sniper. Big differences. On average the kinetic rifles (for me) do about 200-300 more damage per hit
