Default Question for the Pro\'s

Okay I have the demo still but I have a good feeling that I'm getting SEIV this Christmas so I have to ask this.

Okay:
Meson BLasters: They seem to be useless to me as they can't usually hit their target and if they do they don't hurt much.

DUC: Seems to be useless against shields although they rip through unarmored targets rather quickly. I never use these either as my early ships usually have missile tubes instead until I get the AP cannons.

Anti-Proton Cannons: They are good at knocking out shields as far as I can tell and they are also pretty good against armor so I usually equip my early stage light cruiser gunship designs and even my early dessy's with these. But the AI continues to use DUC cannons as the majority of their guns even when they have AP guns.

So which of these weapons is good for what and which is the best of the three?

And as for later stage weapons in the demo I can't really comment on them as I tend to either use Phased Polaron beams or Incinterator beams only. Ripper beams are good and all but just don't hit HARD enough or am I mistaken?
