AWS-8R 4xSRM6 Boat Brawler
AWS-8R 4xLRM15 Boat Fire support
AWS-8R 4xLRM15 Boat Fire support XL engine version
Both of these guys are going to be a little bit finicky on the heat. The LRM build is more of a direct fire, stick just behind your friendly Atlases and then tag whoever they're brawling and drop 60 LRM on them at 300m. TAG + Artemis + Short Range makes LRMs pretty damn effective.The SRM build plays pretty much the same, stick with your friendly assaults, let them draw the fire then move in and drop a tonne of hurt on the most vulnerable enemy. Use the SRM to strip off armor then switch to the lasers to hit internals.
Your mileage may vary, and I've not played with them recently, but they might be a good place to start. Just as a general hint, remove some of the rear center armor and up the front center. It'll improve your survivability twice over.

Heres the build
XL360-
Large Laser (in arm slot)
3 Mediums (head and torsos)
2SRM4s(CT)
1SRM6 (LA)
the srms hit like they have artemis, the build runs ice cold and fits 22 double heatsinks, with speedtweak I go like 82.4
Pretend you are in a fast medium and have a field day!
Just remember to TWWIIISSSTTT

The 9M doesn't have an energy hardpoint in the left arm...only missle....
AWS-9M
XL380
Endo
DHS
3xLL (right arm, left, and right torso)
2xSRM4 (center torso)
SRM6 (left arm)
No Artemis (not required, or even useful on the 9M, and disallows 2 srm4s in the CT)
Frankly, the 9M is easy...but in order to farm pilot skills, ya gotta pick 2 more variants...something I'm loathing, and keep putting off.

Good catch (reply edited), I keep confusing it with my Phract1X build which is almost similar minus SRMs.

2x LL torso
1x PPC in the arm
3x SRM6 torso
STD 290 engine and speed tweak
PPC and LL at range, SRM and LL brawling. Torso twist and spread the dmg as best you can.

This doesn't look like a very viable build. =P
Personally, depends on the variant. I never use an XL on these things, just standard.
Used to use SRMs until I felt it lacked enough armor to do anything, so I switched to LRM 15/20s.
ER PPC instead of the PPC.
The rest just load with heatsinks.
It moves pretty slow though, but I prefer slow to moving fast and die quickly due to running into an Atlas or Stalker.

4xSRM6 (I have 5t ammo since 4t runs out in longer brawls) + ARTEMIS (this is optional but I like it since having all 24 missiles hit in an alphastrike is nasty)
2xLLas
DHS
Endo-Steel
Biggest engine you can fit (Mine has a Std290, runs at 58.7kph w/o Speed Tweak), but don't go with XL because your side torsos are massive targets
AMS + 1t ammo. 2t is nice for longer battles, but most of the time 1t is enough.
Mine is at 79.5 tons and maxed armor. Runs hot if you're firing the LLasers often as well as the SRMs. I chain-fire the LLasers and have my weapons grouped as follows:
1: LLas (chain fire; key to toggle is Backspace)
2: Left torso SRMs
3: Right torso SRMs
Edit: A tip when using the Awesome is to use your big shield arms to your advantage. Your left arm on the 8R is pretty much structure slots and you could put a DHS in there if you wanted, but why bother? I like to block LRMs with my left arm. Keeps me alive longer.
4: All SRMs
