Okay fellow pilots, I'm looking at making my hangar a little closer to meta. These are the bots and weapons I have to work with that are at or close to reasonable levels. Looking at Android Diamond. Of the weapon options listed, which would you pick as the strongest for each bot?
Mercury. I've got Redeemer/Avenger/Thunder and Pinatas/Magnums (Gusts would be better, but those are on my Pursuer)
Inquisitor. I've got a 2nd Redeemer/a 2nd Avenger/more Thunders and Storms/Orkans
Spectre. 4X Tulu
Pursuer. 3XGusts.
Lancelot. Ancile/Redeemer/Avenger and Punisher Ts/Storms/Tarans/Orkans
(As an alternate, I've also got a Bulgasari that could run Tarans or Orkans, but I think the other bots are probably a little stronger.)
Future: I've got a halo cooking. I'm guessing it would go best on the Pursuer, but I've also heard good things about Halo and Mercury. Is Pursuer really the best option?)

You are off to a good start bot and weapon wise, but for the truly juicy advice you are seeking the forum needs to know what your playstyle is.
Are you a capper or closer? do you treat speed as a weapon or leverage tankiness to get red stealthed pilots to jump first?
Of all the weapons you mentioned, not one of them has a range beyond 500m. (this is not a bad thing, just something to take into consideration for your play style.)
But to your original question:the Avenger on the Merc or Inquisitor is always a good idea because of the flexibility of its range, though the Redemer may be a better fit on the Merc if you want that high burst damage up close after you helldive, if those magnums you have laying around are maturely leveled slap them on foe a full on plasma build.
Toss those storms on the Inquisitor with your other Avenger for a nasty kinetic loadout that can support as well as shred up close and personal.
Pursuer: dont fix what ain't broke, those gusts are where they should be. As a point of anti-OCD and moreover effectiveness; be sure to put that soon-to-be finished Halo on the LEFT lower hard point of the pursuer. Better angle of attack to hit stealthed bots.
I am a ScrooterHover pilot by trade and treat speed and 3D manuverability as my ultimate weapon; consequently lancelot is not a bot I've ever run so I can't comment on that one.
Spectre: keep leveling those Tulus. Out of all the spec builds post 4.3 the Tulu midrange splash us the most prevalent loadout for good reason: it plain ol' works.
If you could elucidate us on your preferred playstyle I'm sure more tailored advice can be furnished.

Halo’s work really well on the Merc. Mine are only level 7 (each) and run it with a level 10 Merc and lvl 11 Ember. Even at lvl 7 they root everything in sight and Ember does a nice toasty job. I’ve also ran a avenger as main wee which was pretty good. I’m low level champ IOS

Yeah, I don't play anything beyond 600m. I do like mobility, but I also enjoy being a tank, so it depends. Generally I play brawler out to 500m. Some solo, some direct support.
Sounds like I should be aiming for... Redeemer/Magnums Mercury Avenger/Storms Inquisitor Tulumbas Spectre Gust Pursuer Avenger/Punisher Ts Lancelot (or would Tarancilot be better?)
Halo to go on the side of the Pursuer when it arrives. (Good point about the height for hitting stealthed bots)
