I have them all atm: Maxed Fang and DHS, gave up on DE.

I always liked Fang starting from lvl 1: a) it's stylish and fun, b) highest single target damage of all others on normal attack-don't listen to those who always says you vs a horde, because grineers and corpus tends to spread around, c) ease of use since it is focused on normal attacks and less pernalty if attack misses, d) when I used it with Rhino, it gave Rhino a great mobility boost, was faster than most other warframes using the slide attacks to move around. Fang is great at Grineer and Corpus. You can use it on infest ancients with great efficiency, but you will need another close range weapon to kill all the normal infested.

DHS is good: a) great charge attack damage, b) comparatively small charging time, c) one of the highest single target Charge DPS. However, you can only use DHS to its full potential with Loki, Ash, or Rhino. The reason being that invisibility and iron skin allows you to charge attack continuously without being penalized by stagger attack from enemies. Also, pairing with these warframes you are better off with Scindo because of the ridiculous swing range, better damage, etc. DHS is great on all factions purely because it has great damage, but does not outperform more situation weapons at times ie) Against Fang on Grineer. DHS is also one of the better suited weapons for higher level enemies because charge dmg scales so well you would never have to attack an enemy multiple times-few heavys excluded.

DE, I don't like it at all. I got it after maxing out my Fang as a Fang 2.0, but it was a disappointment. Stagger is useless more than you think other than the lower level bosses. DE's lackluster air attack is less effective at throwing down heavy units compared to Fang, as a result you will be flung off by AOE more often. DE is better at infested-normal- than fang, but is not brilliant as say Scindo. It does tiny damage to the ancients. Slide attacks against Corpus is better than few weapons, but is about equivalent to Fang's, and Fang's slide attack is faster too. And it does not have the polarity slot. It is really one of the worse weapons, it is rather well rounded, but does not have any particular advanatage that I can exploit.

If you like charge attacks, get DHS, if you like insane speed and replacing your mouse/keyboard often, get Fang, if you can't decide, get DE, if you feel like trying out a heavy weapon, get Scindo.
