Don't ever use LLs, their heat:damage ratio sucks. PPCs are as bad, but they at least cause stability damage. This makes them an OK combo with an LRM-boat; the boat sandpapers the target and makes it unsteady, possibly causing a pilot injury, then the PPC mech knocks it down for a second injury and possibly a KO if you managed to destroy a side torso or cause an ammo explosion.
If you're wondering why you don't combine the PPC and LRMs on one mech: apart from Locusts, no mech can be knocked down by stability damage with a single attack even if it maxes the bar. You have to make them unsteady first, then max the bar to get a knockdown. The only way to get a knockdown on a steady mech is to destroy a leg.
