Personally, I recommend the Thunder or Trident.

If you need support, the trident can give you the spash damage you need to hit a shield bot, then run to cover for a reload, or just run to a new beacon that needs capturing.

If you need an ambusher, the Thunder Carnage is your bot. I use this bot in  every  low gold game, and usually net about 250 to 400 damage, and around 2 to 5 bots destroyed. I usually run to a strategic place where a opponent cannot hit my sheids with scatter or splash, and wait for them to come to me. When they are around 225 or less in range, I start up my run, go in, and start blasting away. Of course, I use my bot's superior speed to circle the opponent so they can't hit me, which is another thing that contributes to survivability... Plus, Its amazing how fast duel thunders can damage a heavy bot under 200... Then I just camp on an opponents beacon and when they turn the corner or jump over to contest it, they are usually having to come within 200 of my bot anyways. Thus, I chew them away quickly. This means all Shield bots. THe only bot I die quickly to are PDB grifs and rhinos, and the tri taran spiders.
