Just wanted to see if any pilots would like to post their favorite/best weapons and stats, just to get an idea of what's out there.

well imo there are four different guns worth using at the end game.
you have the lvl10 re'd guns good for ships with lots of mass
expect 4500+ max damage with a .8 to shields and armor. mass can get down to around 45k if you are lucky
then theres the lvl8 borstel/tri-cannon reward re thats great for a medium weight weapon
this is the gun posted above.
imps get a lvl7 boltdriver
re'd you get about 3050 max dmg, .6 to shields n armor, 15k mass, and a low refire rate.
and then theres the lvl6 re'd loot that is the best as far as firepower to mass ratio.
i personaly have a lvl6 gun with 2950 max damage, but the best ive seen other than that is 2600. 2500 are pretty common though. when re'd you can end up with as much as .7 to shields and armor and it will come out right at 10k mass. these are GREAT for pvp since thye will deliver a knock out blow most of the time and free up mass for othre parts.
i skipped 9 since i have personaly neven seen a lvl9 gun with better damage than the lvl8 reward gun. they fire faster than lvl8 guns but if you are going to use that much mass on one gun you might as well jump to a lvl10.
lvl5 and 4 are good for when you have ultra low mass avalible, but if you only have 5k set aside for a gun you might want to rethink the rest of your loadout. i just recently reworked the loadout in my tie-advanced and managed to squeeze in a lvl8 shield along with my lvl7 boltdriver/lvl6 re gun combo that i had before. the guns and the shield alone are 50k mass out of a 65k total.

The one place where an RE'd level 9 gun is good is in the turret of a multiplayer ship. Most gunners seem to prefer trading a little bit of damage for a faster refire rate, and since mass isn't an issue for MP ships, RE'd level9 guns are your best bet for decent damage and fast refire.
As for level 10 guns, here's the link to a post I made a little while back showing my three main guns...
