These 3 are the best.
SHD for speed, SCR or HBK for firepower.
The others aren't bad though if something else catches your eye.

It's true. Clan mediums are much stronk as a group. For my money, the HBK-IIC stands out as the clear best, but all of them have something going for them.

6 SPL or ERSL on a Nova or similar isn't bad at all, if you pair it with MGs and some low-heat harasser weapon like a UAC/5 or LBX-5 you can ding some dongs dramatically.

Don't use stock builds. They're designed for a different game and are almost universally bad for MWO - and none of them are optimal.

The Huntsman is an excellent 'Mech. It trades away the excessive speed of the Stormcrow for jump jets and an additional full ton of pod weight. You have both ferro-fibrous armor and endo-steel, along with the mobility of jump jets and hardpoints to do most anything you want. The only drawback is that it's still MC-only. Otherwise, a highly versatile and deadly Omnimech.

The Hunchie IIC is a perennial favorite, but the Novas are really strong; if I see a 12 ERSL or some combination of ERSL/SPL/MGs boated on one getting close, it's a top target.

Really heat is not much of an issue with 6 small pulse. I have three weapon groups set up. One for all small pulse, one for all mgs, and a third for small pulse only chain fired.
Just know that you don't have range, so you need to be patient with this build and sort of let the enemy get within range. Typically what happens is that your ranged buddies have already been plinking away at their armor, so the small pulses and MGs really tear through the mechs.

1 LBX 20
6 ER Small Lasers
or
All Streak SRM 6's (for dealing with light mech harassers)
Mad Dog is pretty good for Faction play IMHO due to good tonnage and hardness to damage output ratio... But its not a medium, however just 5 tons more than the stormcrow.
Don't discount the Viper if you're considering mediums. It is as fast as a light, but you can still get some guns on it.
