DXR6 is best for the DWB.
DXR6 - AP2
T-21 - AP3
Jawa Ion Rifle - ap 1
berserker - ap0
sg82- ap0
Kind of tired, so thats all I can think of.

I think I remember a few guys being more vulnerable to Energy than Acid in the DWB. However, in general, the DXR-6b is definitely the gun to use there. What I recommend is checking each mob's resists and get used to their weaknesses. Even if the DXR takes a penalty when used against the AR3 guys, it is still often better due to lower Acid resists then Energy.
To add to Aldeon's list:
Laser Rifle- AP2
Tusken Rifle- AP1
Spraystick- AP0
I am also tired, so good night

Click the Weapons List in my sig for a listing of the Rifles along with their damage types and AP.
Examine the target before you engage if possible to see what it's AR and resists are. Remember that sometimes it is not best to use a damage type a target is vulnerable to. Reason being you also lose the AP bonus. So in some cases it is better to use a damage type the target can resist because of the added bonus from the higher AP.
That probably isn't an issue in the DWB. But something to keep in mind.

Oops realized what I had just said. DXR6 you use on the droids, however all the NPCs are 100% acid and low on energy so you use T-21s on them.
