I prefer powerful forward shots mostly. So Vulcan or laser, depending on which game it is.

Basic machine gun/vulcan (powerful, rapid fire)
Spread shots(weaker, but wide effect)
Lasers (narrow beam, but very powerful)
Tracking/Lock-On Lasers
Flame-thrower type (short range, very powerful)
Homing missle type (weak, but tracks down enemies)
Don't care; as long as it blows the **** out of everything

Out of those I would pick Vulcan I guess. I hate lasers mainly because I can't stand them in Contra and metal Slug because they're too slow and do not always hit. The best weapons are the explosive shots or plain missiles easily. Faster than the lasers, almost as powerful etc. Might have a shorter range though but it doesn't matter.

Lasers or Vulcan for me, too.
Though, I've been enjoying the bejesus out of Mars Matrix lately, and that Cannon would probably go under flamethrower...

when it comes to manic shmups, i enjoy focusing on dodging more, it's sooo satisfying. because of that, i go with the homing-type whenever possible.
Skeptical.
Braaaaaaainssssss
I like homing so I can concentrate on bullet dodging, but powerful short melee attacks (like Gunbird 2) come in second, and lasers come in third.

I'm all over the lock on laser of the MK2 in Raiden Fighters Jet. That thing can cover a screen in winding lasery death.

A strong, focused forward shot or laser. I usually dislike homing weapons or lock on stuff beacause I can't control what I kill as carefully.
reach for the sky
I voted lasers. Nice and powerful.
....
Homing.
