Not necessarily.

Paris prime has one decisive weakness. It sucks at crowd control when the enemies won't go down in a single, uncharged shot. This becomes especially problematic when dealing with infested on higher levels. Also, due to the higher crit multiplicator of the Soma/Soma Prime it can be modded to impressive crit multiplicators.

Latron Prime is an impressive weapon, but when getting crowded you will burn through your clip in no time at all and reloading takes a while. Also, hammering left mouse button so much during T4 def/surv/intercept isn't comfortable either.

Soma Prime however, has a huge clip and deals mostly slash damage and also puncture damage. This makes it an excellent choice for dealing with Grineer and Corrupted due to the damage bonus you get against them. Also, due to it being a full auto weapon, the odds of getting disarmed by that annoying Grineer Kubrow-user are much less likely.
