If not why not start a list here?

Mediums and Lights to avoid at all costs.

Ballistics: HBK-IIC. SHD-2H maybe?
Laser Vomit: HBK-IIC-A, Nova, CDA-2B.
LRM/SRM: Kintaro-GB for LRMs. BSW-P1, HBK-IIC-B, Stormcrow for SRMs.
Poptart: HBK-IIC-A, BJ-3.
Best Lights for:
Ballistics: Adder, maybe. Urbie has sweet quirks but it is too light.
Laser Vomit: ACH.
LRM/SRM: Adder, Huginn for LRMs. Jenner-IIC for SRMs.
Poptart: You really shouldn't use them like that.
Mediums and Lights to avoid at all costs: Panther-10P, Vindicators.

Hunchback - 4G and 4J cover ballistic and laser/missiles.
Cicada - can boat the green lasers really well.
Lights?
Locust - 3M is my favorite laser beast
Urbanmech - only way to ballistic!
Javelin will be the only real missile option.

The problem is that it really is only in line with the Poptart meta, if you go by that metric. It's a phenomenal close support medium for heavier forces, and can be downright lethal if ignored and in the hands of a good pilot, but that doesn't fall under "Meta".

I know people like the Hunchies, and those things are solid. But few mechs I played leveled as easy and consistently good as the Huntsman. My 2 ERPPC/2 MPL/2 MG build scored 1150 damage just before I left for work today. And that's 2 KB/5 KKMD/8 assists. But that's anecdotes, so not worth all that much. In general, I can score around 600 to 800 damage in that thing, and the other builds aren't far behind. I got the full pack back in the day, and I mastered all of them.
Huntsman is good mech, fam.

I know you said to not use lights as poptarts, but the Panther makes for a pretty decent poptart.

25% less heat and 50% velocity on Panther-10k
Its up there, faster than the BJ3 but less cooling, though still adequate enough. Of course it uses regular PPCs rather than ER, but the speed lets it do fine with it.
