whichever works for you
they're all useful just depends on which you you enjoy using most/which one fits what you want best

Thunder Cannon is good for multi target damage.

Minigun is good for single target damage.

Hurricane is a mix of both single target and multi target (depending on how you build it).

Depends on the scenario and what OCs you are using. Without OCs, generally (and this is very general advice) minigun is best for single target, autocannon for swarms, and hurricane can do both. But with OCs you can build each weapon for whatever. Burning hell on the minigun is great for swarms, big bertha on autocannon is great for bosses and tanky enemies
I'd say try each one out and see what you enjoy best.
The genuine, unironic answer is all of them. When it comes to Gunner primaries, I see the least amount of divisiveness over them compared to the other classes' primaries.

Gunner is my favourite class, so you're kinda asking me to pick my most beloved child of three... XD

Best singletarget, minigun.
Best AoE, thunderhead.
Game is about hordes of enemies and rarely requires single target DPS, therefore Thunderhead is the best one unless your team needs singletarget that is.

Ignore the Hurricane.

autocannon

it's not just gunner's best weapon, it's the best gun in the game hands down. incredible single target and AoE, huge wells of ammo (especially with T1C), access to some of the best OCs in the game, it's got it all. there's pretty much no situation its bad in, and even its weaker builds are far superior to many guns in the game

ofc minigun and GRS are good too
minigun is your go-to for elimination and industrial sabotage but its a bit OC dependent to do any major damage
hurricane has no "wind up" like minigun and autocannon do so its great for modes where you need to keep moving like point extraction or egg hunt. its minelayer OC is also crazy strong

Whatever you want, they are all good. Mini gun for single target, cannon for AoE, Hurrican for accuracy.

I have been summoned.

Use the hurricane. It’s good, and I will die on this bloody hill!

Plus it’s got way better build variety and better build options.

Depends on the mission. I'd say auto cannon is the best overall.

Thunderhead has the most busted stats in terms of raw total damage and AoE damage.

Hurricane is more well rounded though (faster time-to-kill, less ammo, and better single-target damage). It’s the choice for high risk missions when you don’t know what to expect.

So, the answer to OP's question would be. All of them.

Honestly, every weapon in DRG is viable, except for the Subata. I can never get that thing to work.
