I am not the expert, I just play one on the forums.
Here are the carbines I always carry and why:
Weapon AP Slice Powerup
Krayt Elite 1 Damage Speed/ Min
Good overall numbers, the high min helps in PVP mitigation.
This is also my main wpn for PVE on average targets.
Krayt Laser 2 Damage Max/min
slow armor buster for huge armored targets; Krayt, Rancor
Krayt DH17 Short 1 Damage Max/min
Very low ham for special spamming in crowds. I use Max/min pu I don't want it to be TOO fast when I am spamming.
Nym's 1 Perfect Dam. Speed/min
Acid damage for vulnerables like geonosians, many people like the DXR6 better, but my perfect slice makes it tough to beat.
The role of these are the same for non Krayt.
All of the above math changes if you buff/brandy everytime you hunt.

CDEF: Energy, no AP
DH17: Energy, no AP
DH17 Snubnose: Energy, no AP, low ham cost usually
E11: Energy, AP1
Laser: Energy, AP2, spaced min/max so bad for ranged mitigation (usually pretty decent max damage though)
DXR6: Acid, AP1
EE3: Heat, no AP, no idea is radius is fixed.
Nym: Acid, AP1, close min/max diff so good for ranged mitigation
Elite: Energy, AP1, close min/max diff so good for ranged mitigation
Corrected... hope that helps.

I can't remember the Elite stats, and I don't own a Nym's (if I did, it would go on my wall anyway)

the speeds really depend on the weaponsmith that made the gun... but generally, DH17Short, E11 are the fastest, but with a good speed slice, any of them can be decent... also the Imp Stock on a custom gun gives a .5 speed decrease with no HAM cost
heck, I got aBEAUTIFUL speed slice on my EE3 last night that took it from 3.0 to 1.9!!

Nym's Carbine is AP1 and so is the Elite. The only AP2 gun we have is the Laser.
