I gotta back you up on the weapon choices for CE and 2, and since I do not own 3, cannot say!
In CE, The Shotgun is the most fun cause it is up close and personal, both the Magnum and the PP are deadly though, especially when paired. There is not an enemy you cannot disarm, disable or destroy with the PP or the Mag (alot of rounds for a Wraith though!!)
In 2, The BR is a nice cross between the 2x scope of the pistol and the effect of the Assault Rifle. The shotty and the pistol are weak, weak, weak compared to CE.
As for the marines that are with you (and trying to get you killed!), it is much more common for backup to arrive better armed, especially with sniper rifles. The ability to swap weapons to them that make them more effective is a big plus. There are enough sniper rifles, beam rifles and rocket launchers laying around to make them actually useful, and downright dangerous when in a Warthog.
Vehicles? There are vehicles in the game?? Wow, who knew?
All kidding aside, I think it depends.
In CE, the warthog is the most fun to drive, but without a crew it is tough to do anything but roadkill and view scenery.
In 2, the warthog is the best with a crew hands down, it is fast with a major kick (especially the 50 cal, much better than the cannon).
In CE, I like to go without a vehicle for anything other than long distance transport back and forth between caches. The only time it is more fun to have a vehicle is when you get one you are not supposed to get, like an early or bridge banshee in AotCR. Then you can go places you normally would not be able to.
In 2, going without a vehicle when one is available is pretty much suicide. The enemy groupings are different in 2 than in CE. They have more and better cover, they are typically backed up by more and powerful vehicles and you cannot face them off without a vehicle like you can in CE.
