The Prisma Burst Laser may well be better, as its 10% base status chance is a much better starting point than the Stinger's 5%. With the standard one only having 2% I'd consider any attempt to increase it to the point of being useful a waste of mod slots.

I normally swap between Stinger or Sweeper on a Carrier (as its damage precept, Striker limits its range to 10m, which helps ensure that closer targets are the ones getting the viral status), depending on whether I'm using a shotgun or rifle as primary, to avoid having to keep two sets of leveled mods. Burst Lasers using secondaries would require those spares.
