If you stack two special weapon ammo perks, you can hold 21 (I think) rounds of ammo for your E. Spear without field scout. Might be worth considering.

As for the other guns, The Supremacy and Prudence iirc have the highest auto aim and general usability. Prudence is just like the Revenge, but The Supremacy is the same as an LDR. Unfortunately, that gun is stupid rare. Auto aim (for snipers) helps slow down your reticle and keep it on the enemy. It does not affect bullet magnetism in any way. Praedyth's Revenge has very low auto aim, for example, and it's still easy to use.

Following that, the ones you can acquire now that also have good auto aim and are stable are the new raid sniper, which I get wrecked with a lot in Trials, and Eye of Sol, which I rarely see anyone use. I do not like Eye of Sol.

Slightly down in auto aim is Her Benevolence, which can be rerolled unlike these other guns for Hidden Hand (for more auto aim) or Clown Cartridge (for free ammo) and whatever useless bullshit the other perk is.

However, despite all of this, I've been testing (for at least a couple games each) all my sniper rifles I have since launch. My personal ranking, in MY usage, barring final round stuff and totally amazing rolls follows.

1. Praedyth's Revenge (which Speedracer saw first hand turns an otherwise useless sniper into someone to be reckoned with).
2. Prudence
3. Broken Truth
3.a Queenbreaker's Bow
4. Shadow of Veils
5. Black Hammer
6. Longbow Synthesis
7. Her Benevolence
8. Efrideet's Spear
9. Eye of Sol
10. Amplified Geo
11. The Chosen
12. Low Grade Humility

These are the only ones I remember how they went. I probably also used a Final Boss once or twice but I dont remember it.
