I play Proportions mod only, so my list
is for that mod:

Favorite : Torpedos. PvK made them usefull
and I simply like the sound they made.
Uuooghhh... Uuooghh... or something
Shield-skipping Graviton Hellbore in Prop2.5
is my second favorite.

Useless: Direct-fire Organic weapons. PvK left them as in normal SE and with all those changes to other weapons Organic' are very weak. Seeking Parasite is the only worthy organic weapon now

PPB are almost useless too - research cost is very high.

Direct-fire Organic aren't useless, because they cost organics, and were not weak to start with, especially since you can generally buy and build more of them than non-Organic weapons.

Early PPB are only about as worthless as they were in Space Empires III, which is good because they skip normal shields, so normal shields are a more viable defense option. Meanwhile, if you stick it out, the later PPB are still as good as in SE4 (though more expensive), so they are still a good late-research weapon.
