Anything with a lot of damage in a quick span of time and a good range because unless AMD chooses not to bug on you and go slow while you target it (which is almost never), you'll have a good 2-3 seconds to dump ammo into it. Unless of course you juggle it, but then you're going a bit overkill. Also, I don't believe you can "crit" the AMD with your shots, so anything that utilizes high crit isn't the best choice.

Now if you actually manage to get AMDs that go slowly, You could utilize some low-range weapons (like Shotguns) as well.

There isn't really a "best gun" to use; it all depends on your preferences. If I was going to max an AMD, I'd probably use Flux (or Synapse, but Flux doesn't rely on Crit), Despair(/Kunai/Hikou), Snipetron, etc., but this is from my own personal experience with weapons as well. I'm aware there are a lot of other weapons that could be effective, like Soma, Afuris, etc., but I've never personally tested them out. Just try a bunch of different guns, and just remember the factors that matter in maximizing an AMD:


 * DPS (not just the rate of fire, but the overall DPS of a gun greatly boosts AMD. Remember to remove Crit from the DPS!)


 * Accuracy (you don't want to be missing shots on an AMD)


 * Range (some weapons crap out if the ball goes too far)


 * Magazine Capacity (Unless your reload speed is very fast on the weapon, once you put more ammo in, consider the ball exploded)


 * Personal Preference (While not as important, you probably won't have fun using weapons you don't enjoy)
