Right now (in my opinion):
Plasma FT - Most damaging, still the working horse of the profession
Proton Rifle - no AoE (well for most of 'em), long range! At last an assault rifle-type weapon
Lightning Beam Cannon - Longer range than the FT, same DoT effect and AoE...just less damaging
Now if we had advanced versions of our lower CL weapons, and grenades were as useful as our equipable weapons...you could say our entire arsenal, as all our weapons should be "the best" because we're defined by them and use them as our abilities & specials. Unfortunately, right now that isn't necessarily true.

Blackscale Acid Launcher, sliced for speed and speed pup at 1 sec speed, is great with my master smuggler.
AOE concussion, panic shot, root etc..(pistoleer 0004).

I thought that the Lightning Beam Cannon was for BH only? And ive only been able to find one proton rifle at a vendor and it was for over 1mil credits, anyone know where i can get for a lower price? Or can they be looted, and if so from what?

The Proton rifle with 8% damage slice 2% speed slice and a massive speed pup. It blows holes in things from 80m if you have the right cyber arms.

the launcher pistol
it reflects our hearts and souls.
makes lots of noise, lots of smoke and does zero damage plus it aggroes every possible target in the area.
URRAH!

Plasma Flame Thrower- Decent damage and small, easy to control area of effect along with a nice DOT combine to make this a commando's bread and butter weapon.
Proton Rifle- 746 min damage on a single target from 64min pvp with a damage p'up. 'Nuf said right there. Unfortunately, also a rare loot drop.
Acid Stream Launcher- Best weapon for laying down massive state effects like root or area KD, where you want everything on screen effected.
Launcher Pistol- No, I'm not being sarcastic here. Decent range, blazing speed, very low SAC costs, and zero chance of landing a DOT to break mezz effects. This is a smuggler's best friend when things go bad close up and personal. Probably the single best weapon available for selecting a handful of targets to torture with state effects.

Damage Over Time, aside from AoE...its our premier support ability/utility. The Fire DoT has been a patented trademark of the profession since the game launched (a fire DoT eminating naturally from an unenhanced heavy weapon...yes CM's have a fire DoT as well, but ours is cooler 
)
)

got a few favs, but my best one is the Proton that I get downto 0.99 in speed. (sliced and pups) with that one I can blast of specials at very fast rates.. it will deplete my action fast, but a nice shock and awe effect on people with low health in pvp.
After that its the plasma FT, for closecombat

Being a Master Commando/Smuggler I use the rocket launcher for is range and KD power. Shot panic shot and then a consuccioin shot after it wears off and you have completely taken your target out of the fight for 60 secs...Rinse and repeat.
And like Tyyylowyspetily said - If things get bad I use the Launcher Pistol and drop consission shot. Also in hunting groups I use the pistolif things get bad (ie pikets anyone) and just start dropping states...lowblow, intim shot (xx3x pistols) and anything else that will help the tank.
