In SE4 Gold, rocket pods aren't allowed on troops, so many of us are out of practice with them. However, when you compare damage/size the ground cannon wins out over tiny DUC, anti proton, etc. Troops and milita can't have phased shields so tiny polaron beams are no big help.

But, don't ignore the organic race weapons. They provide more damage/size, and you can build twice as many per turn.
