Trebuchet or a Trident, the answer is pretty obvious to some gold tier players; but I'll give you some points between the 2 weapons to help narrow your choice.

A Trebuchet has long range (1500m), impressive projectile speed, massive damage, 3 second cooldown, excellent DPS, and has the ability to ignore ancile shields. The downside is that its cooldown is just false advertising, the DPM is poor, takes 23 seconds to achive the same amount of damage per shot, and is ineffective in most situations.

The Trident on the other hand has mid-range (600m), has the largest splash out of all rocket weapons, 10 second cooldown, good DPM, useful in flushing (Works on Beacon Huggers, Campers, and Corner Shooters), deadly to Rhinos, and is largely effective in many situations due to its utility. Its flaws, however, are its somewhat slow projectile speed, failure to bypass ancile shields, aim requires some skill on fast targets, and the aiming is better when you are not moving.

The choice is up to your playstyle. There is no perfect weapon as that will topple the game balance and each weapon has its ups and downs.
