C stands for "conclave rating." It determines which players you can fight in PvP - in other words, it's meaningless.

You should max Sonar out - it's Banshee's best ability and the highest DPS ability in the game. Sonic Boom is worth keeping IMO for utility. Sound Quake is pretty iffy since late game the only thing it will kill is you, but for leveling it's not too bad - you should max it out. Definitely drop Vitality and Marathon - you rely on your shields, not your health, and stamina mods are useless. If you run vaults, you want to get Blind Rage - with a maxxed out Focus, that will make your Sonar's multiplier go from 3.75 to over 10. You should also add a Streamline to improve your power efficiency. Redirection, Stretch, and Focus are all solid choices. Flow isn't really that necessary, especially because most of the time you'll only be using Sonar, which will only cost 50ish energy. Fast Deflection is okay, but Fortitude is a better overall choice.

Snipertron is one of the worst rifle weapons available right now, so you might consider switching to something more effective. If your mastery rank is 6 or higher, get a Soma - it's currently hands down the best rifle in the game. If you're below that, consider a Burston or Braton, both of which are fairly effective. Similarly, work towards getting a more effective sidearm (like the Stug). Melee weapons don't matter nearly as much - they're mostly for mastery. Shade is a good sentinel, but the plasma pistol is a terrible weapon. Your Shade will be more effective if you make another sentinel and give the Shade its weapon - Dethcube's rifle is pretty great.
