AR as primary, but typically every type.

Shotguns are popular because of the amounts of pure DPS and Carnage some of them can use if they are used right. Plus they mesh well with agressive playstyles like Vanguard. I was never really a fan because the vast majority of ME shotguns had very very small clip sizes and were slow to load. Miss the shot, or for some reason your shot does not kill the bad guy, you can be fraked. Shotguns are a weapon with a relatively high skill ceiling because they reward aggression and careful aim. A shotgun to the head of a shielded enemy will simultaneously break shield gate (important) while delivering massive headshot bonus damage -- taking out any one "regular" type enemy with a single shot on any difficulty, including Insanity. With the right mods or power use, armor isn't a problem either. Shotguns, like heavy pistols, can also be of great use to power-heavy classes: you only have time between power spamming to fire off a single shot (maybe two), so you're trying to maximize how much damage those shots do. Unless you get a rapid-fire shotgun like the N7 Piranha that is! Anywho, I prefer Vanguards so naturally i'ma go with shotguns, just big powerful single shot shotguns akin to the Claymore rather than full-auto shotguns just because zooming up to someone's face and unloading a shell into their skull is oh so satisfying.

I'm melee since Vanguard's rework in ME2, but I carry AR in case I don't feel like charging and it works fine on all distances.

I would only want to pull out my weapon if it was absolutely necessary. In regards to the question, I voted for submachine guns. I favor SMG's, MP's, carbines, and on rare occasions semi-automatic rifles. Lightweight, aesthetically pleasing, and a decent rate of fire.
If I had to give examples: in Battlefront, the EE-4 is my favorite blaster; in Battlefield 1, I like the MP-18; in the older Call of Duty titles, I favored the MP-40; in Brothers in Arms, the M3 Grease Gun is a rare weapon, but my favorite; the was a great SMG weapon in Mass Effect 2, but I cannot recall its name. I could list more examples, but I believe you get the idea.

Shotguns mostly unless there are exceptions where a certain weapon from the other categories manages to give that same powerful feeling like the Widow or Saber.

All of them. My Ryder will rock (hopefully) the N7 Typhoon, the Black Widow, hand cannon, and the gnarliest shotty I get my hands on. The best part of a soldier is the ability to use multiple guns. I like having a gun for every situation. Powers will probably be Charge, Adrenaline Rush, and a shield of some sort.
The rest of my points will be spent on passive skills lol.

It will all depend on the situation and what type of "class" I'll build. But I'm AIMING (*wink**wink*) towards a pistol wielding biotic type.

SMGs are my favorite guns in games, so I will try to use them the most, provided they are decent this time around.

Poor SMGs. I had no idea your popularity level was so low.
I'm not really sure. I enjoy assault rifles a lot on most games, but sniping can be satisfyingly efficient and pistols are versatile. I'll have to see how each one feels to me in this game.

Snipers, definitely. I'm a terrible sniper though, I literally stand in the open and let people hit me whilst I blow off their comrades heads, lol.

It really depends on the cooldown system. If lighter weapons mean faster cooldown like in ME3, then I'll mostly use pistols

Heavy pistols and SMGs.
Not into lugging some big ass gun around. Unless it's a Widow of course.

On my first casual playthrough I will probably use an assault rifle, you can never go wrong with those, just good all around for nearly everything.
On my insanity playthrough I'll likely be using a sniper rifle.
