Me, I've found that 8 meters of effect range suffices in most circumstances - but you can take 10 meters if you're bad at throwing grenades

For me, YMMV:

4a: 8m range is plenty.
5b: damage-over-time is too useful. GC/shock trooper/warfighter gears give you all the grenades you'll need for Gold. For Silver, two grenades are sufficient.
6: conventional wisdom would say 6b, though you could make a case for 6a if you want to cover a weakness rather than maximize a strength. Though for wrecking armour, fire explosions (from incendiary ammo if QMI, or incinerate if QME) are perhaps a better choice than 6a.

Don't remember the letter, but it's definitely radius - dot - shield damage.

Definitly damage and DoT for te first two ranks. Rank 6 depends on te build. In most cases you'd want sield damage, but there are cases where armor damage is better, especialy if you carry an acolyte. Here is a speedrun I did with this kind of build. The time is not that great but it showcases well the power of arc grenades vs armor.

damage, dot, armor damage.

Arcs do plenty of damage to shields already. Also, if you run a kit with disruptor rounds (for even more tech bursts), shield stripping is no problem. There's tons of armor out there on Gold and up and it needs to be where you move the damage to. I usually run him with an arc pistol, disruptor rounds and a power amplifier.

I just like how 6th evolution lets us judge weather one likes to capitalize on the strengths or compensate for the weakness.

One cannot miss an arc grenade. They're like Cobra missiles or ninja smoke bombs. Just aim at the floor/wall/ceilling and you're bound to hit somethings. It's as bad as choosing recharge speed for Warp.

Radius is superior because it not only allows you to spread damage over more targets but it also makes you more survivable bc arcs stun small infantry.

I guess I'm on the fence on the armor damage. I couldn't really see it on the engineer bc you've got incinerate to deal with armor plus fire explosions. Radius to me is still superior definitely on the engineer bc of increased survivabilty and most of his damage is in combo explosions. QMI I guess could be a little more arguable but still I'm generally rolling an arc pistol with AP or drill to deal with armor and exploit multi hits on bosses and occasionally wall bang with area scan. Just my perspective and play style, I could see some diversity there though.

Not taking radius, you mean? Yeah, I agree
