Yeah, it's generally best to choose the weapon for the situation, especially in Single Player mode, however, everyone does have their prefferences as to what they feel most comfortable with. I'm no different.

When it comes to Ranged weaponry, my prefference leans towards Heavy Bowguns. Their stopping power is pretty amazing, even if their mobility is horrendous. The ability to change my attack style with different amunition to fit the current situation is a bit of flexability that I love. Plus being able to attach a shield for those annoying monsters that like to flash or roar a lot saves me from a lot of hurt.

Melee weaponry, my vote is the ever supportive Hunting Horns. The impact damage of a hammer, the buffs that have uses in both single and multiplayer modes. What's not to love? Sure, they're not great on the burst damage, their KO potential is somewhat lower, but their support capabilities are second to none.
