1. Battlemaster. I like it so much it is in my sig. Got me to T1, back when T1 had meant something.

2. Mauler. 6xAC2 is the most fun I had when macro-fired. The 2xGauss + 3ERLL sniper build also works surprisingly well.

3. Awesome? Not awesome.

Mauler, a very solid mech right now. While the awesome has finally become somewhat useful with the rescale and quirks it's still not that great of a mech. The Battlemaster has always been mediocre in my mind, though recently had some really good quirks but quirks come and go...

Maulers can boat ballistics pretty effectively and regardless of any quirk changes in the future that'll still be quite powerful. :)

My personal vote is the Battlemaster. The Trial mech gives a good feel for it. The 2C (not to be confused with the IIC), is quite good with strong structure, 5 LPL, and a large XL engine.

I haven't played a Mauler though.

Battle Masters:
2C (Structure!)
1D (Ballistic)
I don't know... 3M or maybe 1S for the laser quirks.

Battlemaster. In order:

BLR-2C (all the structure!)
BLR-3S (seriously, the quirks on this one are amazing and it doesn't have the gimped torso twist of the 1G/3M)
BLR-1S (Not strictly the best, but running it with a BIG XL and splat is amazing)

if you like boom boom get the mauler
if you like pew pew get the battlemaster
if you like multiple ppcs or a missile boat, get an awesome.

im partial to boom boom, but the awesome was a hella fun mech to level.

Unless you are driving the AWS-9M, "The Awesome" and "big engine" don't exist together.
