It is usually good to have the same type of weapon on a ship. Both thuds and rippers profit from HB (hardened Barrels) and auto-loader. Remember that when attacking an enemy your ships will stop as soon as the enemy is in range of the weapon with the longest range. So I would chose all weapons of the same range.
