Auto, Scout, Pulse or Cannon: Which will you choose? (Destiny)

The Auto Rifle is capable of sustained automatic fire and is best used at short to mid-range. It is also the weakest per shot of the four weapon varieties.
...
Which primary weapon type will you pick? Are you a close range spray and pray kind of person, are you a methodical shooter that puts thought into every shot, or are you a little bit of both?

I like the Auto Rifle with the Focused Fire upgrade: "When zoomed, this weapon fires slower, but causes additional damage." In the Beta, I used the Cydonia-AR3 with this upgrade, it was effective at longish range, but I could still use it up close to spray someone in CQC. I hope that I can use my Auto Rifle instead of a shotgun, letting me chose between sniper and fusion rifle for my Special slot.

I really enjoyed Byf's Auto Rifle guide.
