AC/5 vs Heavy Rifle

For a vehicle, which one would you pick?

"In turn they tested each Clan namesake
in trial against the Ice Hellion's mettle.
Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said, "And that is how we shall be."

I choose the AC/5,  (more ammo, less heat)

for strait up combat platforms, Autocannon.  for vehicles who need the extra damage against non hardened targets such as engineering platforms I will take the rifle.

Heat? Except for lasers, this is not really a problem for vehicles.

the Rifle is cheap and deals 8 damage to anything with a BAR Rating of 7 or lower.  this gives it extra damage against buildings, support vehicles, and Battle Armor, making it viable for the "use the gun to destroy a bridge joist" or whatever else.
