About the topic: Best weapon to destroy the planetary population/defense/structures is of course the PN. I used to mount Large PN on 1/3 of my fleet when sieging planets defended with large WPs with PPB. With correct planning i barely lost a single ship (though repair cruisers were realy handy).

About the weapons that can/cannot damage planets, i dont like the fact that everything can target planets, but the fact is that the "small beam" measured in our huge kT ships wouldnt be so small when charged to ground, perharps giving a meson bLaster a coverage of an average city. More high-tech weapons are out of the question - i can see how Anti-Matter torpedo damages planets.

As for destroying the world, an interesting theory never heard that one.
