 So basically the image shown will be waht my hangar plan in the future but with upgraded weapons. Ex. Dual CB12 for guardian, Dual LA10 for Ares. The only mech I'll drop is the archnos. So which mech should be better carrying the MR8 build. I know I have ares already buy it will be a sniper sooner or later so it will not function as a tank. Zephyr is kinda OP with the ability but Im finding them easy kills now fighting them since they will always come out of cover after activating ability. On the other hand Juggs just wont die sometimes |

It all comes down to how you like to play. Me, I wanted at least 2 fast mechs so I have my KS and Shadow. One for early beacon caps and the other for mid to late game beacon caps. My LA10/RG16 Guardian functions as a sniper and clutch mech, my Panther as my mid range to CQC brawler, and my Paragon as my artillery/mid range support mech. I had the choice to level my Paragon or Arachnos for this role and went Paragon because I had more BPs and it's much faster.
I'll swap out my KS for my Zep for some TDM maps but TBH, I don't do it that often. Just think about how you like to play, what play styles you like better, and frankly what gives you more fun and go that route.

All good advice so far... I will just add that if MR 8 is your solidified weapon choice for that mech, Zephyr absolutely owns with them. I am more of a Jugg style of play fan than Zephyr style of play, but, I put my Zephyr in more, and usually with Arc 10 and MR 8. It works very well that build OR with both MR 8s and is the epitome of an ambush mech at that point.
Juggs can use MR 8s, though, very well... but you have more chance of getting the kill in the Zephyr since you can almost always control the encounter and work it out to where you are hitting them in the back with the MRs due to the ability, thereby ensuring maximum available damage. In effect, what Koala said is true... your preferred style of play should influence this choice. However, if I were to just answer the question, with no other context, "Which mech would you rather use MR 8 on, Juggy or Zep?" I would agree with punishingcossack and choose Zephyr, every time. |

Zephyr is the "better" choice IMO too for all the reasons above. Jugg isn't bad, but Zephyr is bettyr.
(see what I did there?!?)

It all comes down to play-style. I like getting up in their face, and Juggy is too slow to do that. By the time I get there the fight has moved. Zephyr up close is deadly if you are quick on the ability button. Zap everyone, look around, destroy, take cover, rinse, lather, and repeat.

I would say Zephyr because I use him a lot with MR 8s. Jugg sits on the bench after Ares got the shield that stays on. It is true though that a levelled Jugg is hard to kill.

One thing to consider...
Me, I don't have the reflexes or skill to go toe to toe against other human players that know what they're doing. That's why I favour the JR6 so much in that I'm able to play sneaky and avoid direct confrontation and still hold my own. I also favour mid to mid/long range play (anything beyond 30-40m) because I know I don't stand a chance in face to face against a good human player up close. I'm just not built that way I guess.
I say, find your niche in this game. Find what you're good at and what is fun and go that route. Back when the Jugg was the better tank, I grudgingly ranked him up to playable levels but still didn't like tank play. Ever since the shield nerf, I haven't taken my Jugg out once and my Ares is not ranked high enough to use. My Zep, on the other hand, was leveled decently and hence I would use Zep before I use either of my tanks.
