Pistol. Good rate of fire, one hit kills Grunts, Jackels, Hunters and Flood (When used properly even on Legendary). It's by far the most useful due to the scope, and an Elite at distance doesn't stand a chance, though for close encounters I'd go for a Plasma Rifle/Pistol (Plasma Pistol mainly due to the stun), and then cap them with a Pistol. Also great against Banshees.
Having said that, you need the Shotgun against the Flood in an indoor enviroment, as the Pistol will surfice outside.
Weapon choice is relevant depending on the situation at hand...
