Today I decided to buy one of romulan dreadnought. But before I do that I want to ask, which of the RD (scimitars) is best?

You'll find yourself dropping at least one or two of the bundle consoles. I use to swear by them when I first got mine but found while they do have niche uses, they hinder the potential somewhat of the ship. I still use 2 of the three consoles, ditched cloaked barrage. While fun, not useful enough.
IMHO while the sci version would make a nifty toy in a projectile boat, the lack of a cmdr sci officer makes it frustrating to me. Basically you give up tac consoles for sci --- making your dps lower and not really giving you enough sci power to justify it. This ship is flawed, and should probably be a 4 weapon up front CMDR sci ship instead.
The engineer version is well rounded, with balanced consoles. It might make a good ship for any captain type. It is no uber tank (shields an hull are a bit low for it), even with an engineer at the helm. IMHO the tactical scim is just as good in the hands of an engineer as far as "real" durability. I actually do not care for cmdr engineer slots, so the officer layout is fine.
I think you might be a bit confused, as all 3 ships have the exact same boff layout. The only difference between the ships, is their looks/console layout/bonus power to X subsystems/and unique universal console that comes with it.

Most of the specialized consoles are ultimately not game changers, with most players dropping them entirely.
Well it's supposed to keep you cloaked while allowing you to open fire for a short while, but from all the actual usage I have seen in person it slightly makes the ship visible during its use.

Cloaked barrage reveals you a little, but not a lot. If your drones are already attacking the targets, you will remain ignored. However, if you have nothing already firing on them, you will be attacked.
