my personal choices after what you already have listed (minus ammit until you get one of the good solar smgs)
kinetic/stasis/strand: riptide w/ chill clip, conditional finality, izanagi, quicksilver storm, wishender, succession, heritage, blinding gl, one-two punch shotgun, submission.
honorable mention: rufus's fury, night watch, smite of merain, Mykel's Reverence or buzzard, accrued redemption.
solar/arc/void: trace rifle of each element, divinity, forbearance (other element wave frames are good too), ikelos smg, calus mini tool or gotd dungeon smg, cartesian coordinate or rapid fire frame of other element,
le monarque, trinity ghoul, blinding gl, one-two punch shotgun, first in last out or nessa's oblation.
Honorable mentions: brigand's law, ikelos sniper or adored, judgement of kelgorath, point of the stag, insidious, sweet sorrow, salvager's salvo. personal favorite: tarrabah.
heavy: apex predator or cold comfort or hothead, gally, tractor cannon, xenophage, eager edge sword, commemoration, falling guillotine, lament, cataclysmic.
honorable mentions: parasite, thunderlord, wendigo, retrofit escapade, sleeper simulant, levi breath, legend of acrius.
these are all weapons I have a few thousand kills on, or they are already slotted on one of my characters and I swap them back and forth.
most scouts, pulses, hand cannons, sidearms, and auto rifles are fill ins for the champion mods I might need but not weapons I use with regularity.
honorable mentions might be really good in some niche encounters, but not something that would be great in everything. also, some of these weapons might not be easily obtainable anymore.
