For edges, I would say the Precsision Beam Rifle. It's got a longer range and it's impact is almost immediate. All plasma weapons have batteries so it could be charged on the field whereas the Viper will eventually run out of thermal clips. My edge for middle range would go to the Vindicater because it can use Cryo, Incendiary, Radioactive (ME1), Warp, and Anti-Armour rounds. The Vindicater is can go Burst and full-auto (as seen in cut-scenes) while the Carbine is only semi. The Vindicater can also fold and can be quite portable. The edge for short range goes to M-300 because it has more range and is extremely powerful. Condsidering an 8 gauge shotgun could take out an Elite (shields and all) at a fair distance and the Claymore is quite more powerful than an 8 gauge so it would likely be able to kill an elite at an even farther range, before the Energy Sword wielder could get close. The M-100 grenade launcher does not need to charge up and has a larger capacity. Instead of a 4-round its got around 20 (32 if you upgrade it enough). It's got a faster fire-rate and is more reliable without a lock on. The Krogan's could use Biotics to form an extra shields layer and to lift, throw etc. an elite as well. Both of their armours are quite complex and would likely not be much of a factor. In my eyes.
