You can still import the ME3 save game and keep all the weapons and mods you obtained in the first playthrough.
It unlocks the remaining weapon/mod tiers, and is very valuble for an Insanity playthrough.

I have hundreds of hours with Adetps since ME2. My experience:

Phaeston\\Avenger\\Vindicator is ok, BUT you have to stay out of cover for too much time. Playing Insanity, you going to get shot to death if you try to kill anything stronger than a husk... Mattock is the best for "casters", because of its nature(semi-auto, high damage per shot). An adept with Mattock can pop-out, do damage and get back to cover without losing the barriers. I recommend damage and instability improvement mods. Anything heavier and you're losing your focus on the class.

Again, I'm talking about adepts on Insanity. The principle is probably the same for the Sentinels and Engineers.

Falcon, Vindicator and Mattock are the best IMO.

Vindicator for casting classes. Upgraded it has gives you the 200% cooldown if you choose to skill to carry more weight.

It might be my style of play, but I've found that I don't seem to even notice things being on cooldown if its less than -16% penalty. Ever since I upgraded my guns, took some of the recharge rate skill ranks in my biotics and put on some cooldown gear, my powers always seem to be ready when I need them, despite my encumberance being over the edge.

I use the N7 Valkyrie for more classy xD
For the mods, I use Magazine Upgrade, and the Extended Barrel for more damage =D
In my opinion the Valkyrie don't need the Stability Damper mod.

By the way i use a N7 Valkyrie X and  a N7 Valiant X

I carried only the vindicator for a lot of the game.
It's so light (at level 5) that you'll have +200% cooldown, yet it's fun to use and does wicked damage to everything, especially with warp ammo.
I played as a sentinel, and once I got a few upgrades I found I could carry the vindicators with that asari shotgun, or the vindicator with a predator and a tempest.

Pretty fun combos.

I would say Vindicator for casting classes unless you're in a NG+ and can go past the V upgrades. Then, the Mattock becomes superior in my opinion.

For a Soldier, or any weapons-first build, the Valkyrie is a great choice. If you abuse adrenaline rush, marksman, or tactical cloak, then the Particle Rifle and Saber are probably the best damage dealing assault rifles you can get, but you need those powers to help with how those weapons fire, as you might get into trouble a lot without them.

The Mattock and Vindicator both have excellent balance. They are lightweight, have quick reload times, good enough ammo capacity, good accuracy, and deal solid damage.

The piercing upgrades allow it to kill guardians outright without wasting biotics on them or the need to shoot through the slot. Like the vindicator because its a ligh assault rifle but still a damaging one.

Particle rifle is nice, but i usually use the Mattock. Mainly because it has a nice feel to it. It sounds and feels like a heavy gun, and it hits pretty hard if you can lay down the headshots.

The vindicator is ok with the stability upgrade as well. relatively low weight, so you can spam a lot of powers.

M99 Saber is pretty ridiculous, but you get it late in the game.

I second this notion. I pretty much went from Avenger -> Mattock -> Saber, don't have the n7/argus etc. Completed the game on hardcore and it was actually very easy (soldier). Rarely ever died at least. :P

For a caster (engi currently) I prefer Mattock. I agree with Mozts that it delivers decent returns for relatively brief amount of times out of cover. Thus far my strategy has been to use the Avenger until I can carry the Mattock with 200% recharge, then I switch. I hadn't thought to try carrying the Asari shotgun in addition to an AR on my engi, but since the Locust is just gathering dust in the corner I'll see if I can make a swap and stay at or near 200%..

Phaeston is nice, Mattock is awesome but my vote goes to a scoped Revenant. It all boils down to your playstyle, I personally like the Revenant's enemy stagger (Phantom killer) and the fact that you can just keep firing that beast, having such a high capacity. Although I will not suggest the Revenant unless you're a Soldier (too heavy). Don't like the Particle Rifle for a go to weapon, Revenant > Argus and I don't have the Valkyrie.

For teammates go for Falcon since they don't run out of ammo, it's pure awesomeness of grenades shooting.

Longtime fan of the Revenant here, but they sure gave us alot of fun new toys in ME3. The only AR I don't like so far is the Argus, but I did not spend time upgrading it. The crazy inaccurate 2-burst felt strange xD

Vindicator vs Mattock is kind of a crapshoot statistically, but I'd choose the Vindicator because it sounds much better.

Argus has crazy kickback, only useful with high level stabilizers.

I just used the Saber for the first time, coming from a Mattock user its pretty nice. It shoots slower but packs a wallop....

True, but upgraded to Level V with Stability mods IV or V and a Assault Rifle Scope...it hits hard. I kept wanting to use other rifles on my soldier playthrough, but the Argus was too much fun with ammo powers (and since cooldowns for a soldier don't really matter I could afford the weight).

They can take my Revenant after they pry it from my cold, dead hand!

You can fire it single handed with that recoil? Impressive... ;)

Yes of course, two handed rifles are for wusses.

I need my other hand free to punch stuff, and occasionally stub out my cigar on a dying Reaper's face.

Given that ME3's system only cares about what class a weapon is for aesthetic reasons, I really don't understand why they made this thing a sniper rifle.

But, then again, they made the Saber an assault rifle, so go figure.
