Of course the best weapon of choice largely depends on your enemy
Bingo! Even PBB have weaknesses. If I knew you were relying on them exclusivley, I could beat you even in a one on one ship combat by making a ship designed to defeat it's weanesses. I would use phased shields, or no shields. I would use a weapon with more range than a PBB, like APB, or a Wave motion gun, and I would set my strategy to max range. You would be toast.
No one weapon is the best in the game. Some are better then others in specific areas. Some are better overall, but not as good as others in specific areas.
I've said it before. Space Empires is a great big complicated Version of "rock paper scissors" man.
