I'm not a shotgun person, but I certainly managed to unlock a lot of them. Here are my impression on them.

Heavy Shotguns:

Graal - this thing is very accurate and does a lot of damage at close or mid range. Occasionally you can even use it to snipe at long range at a stationary or predictable target. I am not sure if the projectiles track like the Geth Plasma Shotgun. The projectiles also seem to travel faster than the GPS, although it could just be an illusion since you don't see glowing green balls streaking towards the enemy.

Geth Plasma Shotgun - the charge function on the gun is where the fun starts. It's not as accurate as the Graal, but another way to look at it is its got bigger spread for taking down a group of enemies. I find the GPS compliments AoE abilities like Carnage very well - you can drop groups of lightly defended enemies very quickly.

Claymore - while the Graal and GPS are more like mid-range weapons and can both function decently at long range, the Claymore is definitely a close-range weapon. However, it is severely limited by its clip size - you better be sure you can drop something in one shot (or have powers/escape plan for backup).

Personally I think Graal is the most versatile of the three on Gold, but if you are going for CQC any of them will do.

Light shotguns:

Disciple - this thing is great. It's lighter than several heavy pistols including the Talon (!) and staggers every shot, which is extremely useful for CQC. It's not very accurate though, so don't expect to hit anything with a full spread at mid range consistently.

I honestly like the Scimitar. The only class I use equip with a shot gun is my Human Vanguard. As this class you tend to spend most of your time performing the Nova>Charge combo so weight is a big factor for me.

The fact that it fires so much faster than any other shotgun means you can Nova a group of enemies, charge the strongest one, and they quickly pull of point blank headshots on any living bad guys with ease.

I find that the Scimitar doesn't finish off everything in one shot unless you headshot and a high level Katana or Disciple is lighter and the ability to one-shot bodyshot makes cleanup easier and about the same speed since you don't have to take the time to lineup your shots. They also one-shot guardians if you headshot where I've never had the Scimitar do the same. Of course, I only had a Scimitar IV at the time. Maybe a X will do it on Bronze.

I use a Level VIII Katana with my Asari Vanguard, I'll take the weight over the oomph.  I also liked the Geth Shotgun, but it was too heavy for Sarina.

 Disciple is the choice of champions. Looks good, sounds good, is light, packs ample firepower, has a unique force ability, and is overall a badass shotgun.

[ichobi]

I might give scimitar / Katana VI-X a shot tonight. the way I use shotgun with infiltrator is cloak and get real close to do headshot so the damage, regardless of the gun, is always through the roof. Disciple being not as heavy hitter as it is, kills most enemies in one clip. And yeah it sounds amazing.

It's spikes, literally.  I see tons of them just sticking out of a Guardian's little mail slot when I'm aiming for their head

I've Just unlocked the Disciple and I love it. It's now overtaken the Graal as my favourite shotgun so far.

[E_rik]

The Talon is my favorite shotgun in Singleplayer.

As for multiplayer, I roll a Scimitar on my Turian Soldier with Marksman. Marksman pretty much turns the shotgun full-auto, great for crowd control.

[Jestina]

Scimitar or katana since all the others ones blow. I did try the Talon and that seems okay too.

[SuperADJ]

I unlocked the Wraith recently but have so far found it to be pretty underwhelming. Obviously it's only Level 1, but the chances of me getting another are slim. So has anyone found this to be a good weapon? At the moment I'm getting on better with the Graal.

[Count Dante]

Disciple because i have a level 5 and it is light and lets me have an awesome power recharge

Katana X  

[BraveLToaster]

Grall, GPS, and Disciple all have their uses for me.

[Shinnyshin]

I love my Salarian Infiltrator and have a Claymore I and Katana X. Given the number of upgrades and what I'd read, I was really expecting the Katana to be better. Particularly due to weight and reload time. I found the exact opposite to be true.

Yes, two shots with a Katana significantly outdamaged one with a Claymore. But I found that I often had to put myself at a bit of risk pulling off that second shot. The timing was almost perfect, but not quite right. Furthermore, the reload time for the Claymore synched up almost perfectly with my invisibility cooldown. Basically, everything for Claymore worked perfectly with my style and timers to make for extremely high burst with almost no risk. Perhaps had I gone for the increased damage option on the final cloak upgrade it'd be different. But going for the power use option (in conjunction with proximity mines) makes for such a safe style that really complements the Claymore.

That just reinforces in my mind how ridiculously circumstantial weapons are in this game, especially shotguns.  In what circumstances are you guys having such success with some of these weapons?

The Disciple is the best light shotgun I have by far. I think I will like the Wraith more once I get my hands on it, although leveling it will be a pipe dream.

 Geth Plasma shotgun.

[suprhomre]

Claymore = instant death

[ArbiterMatrix]

Geth Shotgun is a pretty balenced shotgun, if a bit low on ammo. I like that it moves to hit the enemy you're aiming. Charged, it can also one hit unshielded enemies.

[Father Alvito]

Energy Drain + Claymore = thanks for playing.

I can't hit anything up close with the GPS either. It's a gun that makes sense if you know you're going to be holding a chokepoint at medium range. It's also surprisingly good against the big enemies at a distance.

[nukular power]

Katana X ftw imo... I dont even bother with my GPS or Graal since going back to it :/

[Brownfinger]

Disciple. By far. I'm not big on shotguns, but in close quarters, my Turian does well with it.

One of the coolest-looking guns in the game, in my opinion.

[GracefulChicken]

Depends... on Krogans or Soldiers, I like the Graal (more than the GPS, too). On characters where weight is an issue, I love the Katana. It seems to be noticeable stronger than the Scimitar, quicker and more accurate than the Evi. I've yet to unlock the Disciple, but when I found it in SP I fell in love with the feel of it. It has a nice "weight" to it... it just feels nice, I don't know. If it's the same as it was in SP, I'm sure that'll be my new favourite when I finally unlock it. Sidenote: Does anyone know the weight of the Disciple off the top of their head? Comparable to what other shotgun?

[GGW KillerTiger]

Favorite shotgun? Geth Plasma Shotgun because it can pretty much instant kill most enemies and damages the crap out of others. Most used however I'd say is the katana.

[Sevrun]

I've found the Disciple surprisingly fun and a very good step up from the Katana. Even when going from the Katana X to Disciple I it's slightly superior. I tried it just on a whim and now it's my goto weapon for close engagements if I'm playing anything BUT my Krogan... though he still carries it, just in case
