If you have a thunder weapon, that is great. If not, raw power will do.

As for weapon types, GS can be devestating if used correctly, but that's hard with tigrex. LS is much the same. Lances and gunlances are quite good as you can block everything, but going offensive is very dangerous. Using a bow is really hard, as his charge is so fast. I like using SnS against tigrex. Fast, evasive and defensive. Although you may want to get gaurd +1 to reduce damage.
