From experience concussive shot is pretty much junk and more so at insanity, least that is how I feel, that would not leave me with much choice on garrus's abilities with only overload to choose instead.
Is overload > concussive shot? and how good is overload at level 4?

If you have it on area overload it is great... especially if Garrus's character class is at level 4. it takes down the shields of everyone because he gets an additional 25% damage. There are three tech upgrades pre-Horizon so Garrus is very effective early on.

Both have their uses.
Concussive shot on Insanity is good for knocking down opponents in red bar and doing some damage against Barriers. However, I found it most useful in killing Husks in red bar instantly, as well as against rushing opponents (Varen, Klixen, Krogan, and Vanguards).
Overload rocks against shields and can cause that vaunted weapon overheat. Best used against armed and shielded organics. Both Concussive Shot and Overload can be upgraded into the Area-of-Effect. I'd argue it is superior in the game overall but not nearly in every circumstance.
It depends on what your own class is, who the third teammate is, and the characteristics of the mission. Personally, I rarely used Garrus, as much as I liked him as a character. I usually picked one of Grunt/Legion and then one of Miranda/Mordin. I found Garrus strangely fragile in combat when I did use him.

Concussive shot would've been a much more appealing talent if it had a 3 second recharge time similar to abilities such as throw and pull. 6 seconds is way too long for a rather minor AoE talent.

I thought Concussive Shot was very useful. Crowd control ftw.

Its incredibly weak and has a relatively long recharge time. Throw is superior in every way - short cooldown+amazing CC.
Concussive Shot's recharge time was simply too much of an annoyance to be considered useful, especially since the vastly superior Adrenaline Rush has a 5 second recharge time.

I actually max Concussive Shot instead of Overload. Even at Rank 3 his Overload does a good job of stripping shields, the classes I've played a lot of thus far have abilities against shields (Disruptor Ammo, Overload), and max CS gives Garrus something to use against the occasional Vanguard that shows up with a Barrier.
It's also just amusing to hit a frozen enemy with max CS.

That, and did you guys chose survivor or renegade?
