My recommendation would be the lex (opinions are opinions).

Reason being is that while the seer has better zoom, it find the Lex's hitscan type bullet to be easier to handle and adapt to varying situations/enemy types with, and I find the zoom on the lex to be just right for any distance whereas the seer zooms too much for my taste. Also not to mention it's a heck of a lot easier to get your hands on than the seer.

Having said that I will tell you quite bluntly that the seer is better DPS, losing out only in the painfully long reload speed (which can be more or less remedied by 'burning' mod points on a quickdraw mod). Adjusting to the travel time of its shots is probably merely a thing of practice and timing (and a good framerate / lack of lag). So really, in the hands of a very experienced player who's put significant time and practice into his weapons, the seer will probably do better.

tl;dr:

Lex is a better all-around'er handgun for anyone and everyone who want to be able to pick up a gun, master how to use it, and have fun obliterating things in the span of a few minutes. On the flipside, the seer will outperform the Lex if given time, effort, and practice.
