So from what I can tell between Taran and Punisher MK2:

Punisher- a more versatile weapon. It deals adequate damage at midrange and is a beast up close. It helps your teammates with plasma or rockets by eating away at physical and energy shields.

Taran- a huge threat to Ancile bots, even Ancilot isn't entirely safe from it. However it is less versatile and more of a solo weapon as it destroys robots with Anciles without giving Rocket or physical weapons from teammates a shot at it.

So why is Taran used more? Well, it fills a specific niche that the punisher can't match. It deals the same damage at any range, allowing the user to stay out of the reach of Orkans and take less damage from Punishers and especially thunders.
