I took a Soma with maxed Serration/Splitchamber/Vital Sense/Point Strike to Xini and tested 15 different Setups against unarmored enemies. I only counted crits.

172 Base

404 90% Hellfire

326 90% Toxic Clip

288 90% Stormbringer

326 90% Cryo Rounds

182 30% Piercing Hit

210 30% Sawtooth Clip

174 30% Rupture

223 30% Piercing Hit + 30% Sawtooth Clip + 30% Rupture

481 180% Corrosive

481 180% Blast

481 180% Gas

481 180% Magnetic

481 180% Radiation

481 180% Viral

The only difference against Infested for combined Elementals was against Leapers because they are Armored, the best Elemental against Armor was Corrosive in this case and dealt 412 damage. Piercing hit only was able to achieve 137 instead of 129, which was beaten by Sawtooth Clip with 155.

So Physical damage mods are bad unless you really got a very high value, but in like 99% of all cases Elementals will scale way better into higher level missions.
