I ended up with Disruptor on 4 out of 9 toons. I like the proc and we have 2 disruptor related weapons sets around. Doing 33k DPS on a cannon build escort is fun and the used sets did their part.

Phaser on fed. Disruptor on KDF, Plasma on Romulans.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
I always use the "right" weapons for whatever ship I'm flying. Currently refracting tets on my Recluse, but Phasers on my Starfleet ships.
I might break down and build a DPS machine and load it up with whatever the new hotness is again at some point, but I have a lot more fun recently just building the ship the "way it should be built" and then seeing how much I can push out of it.
I once again match my character. Behold the power of PINK!
Poll too limited, phasers and disruptors are only 2 possibilities, I don't use either.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Romulan Plasma on my Fed and Rom, mixed disruptor types for my KDF.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Since I play my Fed tac almost exclusively anymore, I use phasers. All types. Well except those phrased bio-TRIBBLE ones. Sound like stretched rubber bands being plucked.
STO: Where men are men and the women probably are too.
I support the Star Trek Battles channel.
Lets see. For my feds, of course phaser (only regular phaser or phased biomatter) / photons / quantums.
For my klings, disruptors (almost any variant, nanite, polarized, biomolecular, etc they work nice all of em) / photons.
For my rommies, plasma (regular plasma, plasmatic, or corrosive) and the hyper plasma torp / particle emission torp / or biomatter plasmatic torp.
Of course i have some exceptions, like my Haakona that is carrying a polaron build + hyper plasma (i always loved polarons on that ship, it looks amazing).
Or my Karf'i that is carrying an antiproton build (it fits really nice with the ship theme).
For cross faction ships - any energy type that matches the design of the ship and the asthetics. I dont care about a weapon being best or worst, i just play for fun.
For the OP- you better modify that poll, its completely ridiculous (where are the other energy types??).
Plasmas were cheap on the exchange, now I'm debating between Rommie plasma and Iconian radiant AP when I hit tier 4 for both. And I keep a set of phasers in the bank for when I feel more canon-ish.
Lets see, On my Fed character I use Antiproton, My Romulan uses Romulan Plasma and my Gorn uses Disruptors. My Fed did you Thoron infused polaron for a long time. It was pretty cool shooting yellow polaron beams everywhere.
Fed is phasers with photons and Quantums.
KDF is disruptors with photons
Romulan is plasma all the way.
Now I have other ships I use. So they use Poloran, Anti Proton, Tetryon and Transphasic. This way I can play with different builds. But these ships are my "alien" ship fleet.

Also.... why only 2 options?
Furthermore, your sig is an echo of a bitter shell of a human being....

Plasma and plasmatic biomatter. Roms love plasma.
Oh, ok, Andorian phasers on my Andorian toon in an Andorian ship.
