I say the Lex is the best out of the three. The Seer, while it does have the highest damage is a nightmare to snipe with because it's not hitscan, and it doesn't have any crit chance, and has a nightmarish reload time. The Vasto is better than the Seer, but I just don't think it has the damage to be as good as the Lex. It's fast firing rate isen't much help with sniping, and the Lex's damage is more effective at taking out things that are close to you than the Vasto. The key factors are the Lex's base damage is higher than the Vasto, and it has more crit (and is not a projectile) than the Seer. Once properly modded the Lex is the best at sniping and the best for finishing enemies, or just outright 1 shotting them. However all three of these are terrible with light infested and you should bring a primary or melee that can deal with them.

Keep in mind that there are other sidearms that might better suit your playstyle, like the (op) Gremlins, or Vipers or Boltos. Also the lato is a good all around sidearm. And there's also the throwing knives and clan weps.
