It depends on your playstyle:
Are you planning on sneaking around, or to fight it out?
Are you planning on extracting people, or kill them?
What distance do you sincerely expect to handle the enemy from? Up close or from a distance?
Are there droids on the map? In that case bring something like a rocket launcher or a machine gun instead of a sniper rifle.
What's your tech rank?
Are you much for distractions?
Do you like laying traps?
As you can see, there are as many loadouts as there are weapons.
If I told you my personal loadout, it's not certain at all that it would match your skill or play style.
I'd just be forcing you into my playstyle.
When you start out, you'll be happy to know that the low ranking platforms are just a single platform with sometimes no guards on at all. Make sure to scout out in the menues what you'll be encountering.
Also, for the sake of ammo preservation, match your loadout with the platform - if you have lethal ammo, only take on lethal platforms, et cetera.

i usually play with assault rifle most of the time and
sniper
Well, if you're comfortable with that, then go with that.
...but if you're not comfortable with that, then can you specify what exactly you are uncomfortable with?

Edit: Also keep in mind that there will be those open stretches between platforms, so SOME form of way to traverse them - i.e. some longer distance weaponry - could be preferable.

ok but what do think are the best weapons and customized for me ( assault and sniper)
Well, since you're level 40, a level 40 assault rifle, and a level 40 sniper rifle, if you don't think the deployment cost is too high. The game is designed to be balanced, but it's easy to develop better weapons if you feel that you're lacking.
...but you can't lose with the easier of the early platforms. Not unless you jump into the water, fall from a too great height, or return to the wormhole you came from. (Also don't get logged out, 'cause you seem to lose then too.) It's just a single platform with no guards on it. ...and from there you'll get a few easy guards, and so on. It's nothing that you haven't encountered on the regular missions, except that you have about 30 minutes to get to the end of the course.
The difficulty is that when there are guys, there are about seven guys on each platform, and two reinforcements of 4-5 guys, so be prepared to handle quite the number of guys.

I started doing FOBs two days ago, and the first times you mess up, so don't invest too much on stealth. Then you learn things like kiting guards to where you are waiting to choke them out, and that usually takes care of the first 3-4 guards. Then you have leeway to actually ascend to the deck proper to deal with the other 3-4 guards. ...and from there you can snipe the second platform, cross over, and then try to find out where all the other guys are through interrogating some guards over there.

Water pistol and shirtless leopard fatigues. Humiliate your enemy.

Don't forget the double barreled stun shotgun for those times when you want to send people flying when they come around the corner.

For nonlethal purposes, I like the MRS-73 NL (semi-auto tranq sniper) and UN-ARC NL (rubber bullet assault rifle). For a secondary, start researching the Uragan revolver - it's a miniature shotgun that leads to a nonlethal version.

Once you get a suppressor for your sniper, FOBs become much easier - just tranq one soldier in a visible area as "bait", then tranq any other soldiers that come to wake them up.

I personally go in stealth first using gas mines and distractions to lure guards into ideal terrain, then choke them out / tranq if they have gas masks. I do pack a few lethal options as well if things hit the fan though.

My usual loadout:
Assault Rifle: UN-ARC (Stout barrel, Compensator, S1000 shotgun attachment)
Sniper Rifle: AM-MRS-73 NL (Bull barrel, Silencer, Laser, Tranq rounds)
Pistol: Burkov TB (Silencer, Laser-Flash combo, Tranq rounds)
Rocket Arm
Sleep Grenades
Hand Grenades
EMN-Mines
LLG-Mines
C4

God no. That thing is a piece of crap. Take the stun pump shotgun.

Or, you could use the riot pistol like a sane person.

If only the weapon glitch was still in the game you could combine the water pistol with the double barrel.

I miss that glitch. I've still got a few glitched weapons. Like my NL assault rifle that uses standard 5.56 rounds. And a stun double barrel that's suppressed. And uses lethal shells, so it has impossible range. I never use them, but they're nice to have.
