Some players recommend shock weapons. I personally recommend strong incendiary weapons, as well--a high fire [rate] is an added benefit, if available.

ADDENDUM:

An interesting comment from http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Vengeance concerning the Vengeance line of repeater pistols:and its special effect to bypass shields:

The special effect is currently bugged:

If the Vengeance is not intially equipped when the game starts, its special ability will not take effect.

If the Vengeance is equipped to one of the four weapon slots when the game starts, all four equipped weapons will always have a chance to bypass shields.

If the Vengeance is replaced with a different weapon after the initial load, all weapons will still have a chance to bypass shields.

Can also carry over to driver's front turret, plus it might pass to Rocket and Turret passenger seats. Not yet tested for passenger weapon. (Person with the gun only.)[citation needed]

This bug makes grinding at the Eridian Promontory a great way to get fast XP and weapon proficiencies. [Emphasis added]
