Penta for sure. Here's why.

First off, Multishot is VERY good for the Penta, because stacking up grenades is a silly idea. Penta's arcing shots and manual detonation make the use of Heavy Caliber a boon in ALL cases. If you detonate in the air over the heads over a group of mobs, you don't have to worry about enemies blocking the explosion (which happens a lot on the Ogris) and it scores headshots (though this is a downside for Corpus, which require a bit more careful aiming so you detonate around their hips.  However, midair detonations are great for dealing with hordes of ospreys.

You can bounce it off of walls, use grenade impacts to confirm hits, and enjoy a much faster firing rate. Yeah, the Penta is faster than the Ogris. That charge time is BRUTAL, and you still have refire rate to worry about afterwards. There are VERY few cases where range should be a factor...a properly lobbed Penta grenade can reach pretty long ranges even without bouncing.

Since making my Penta, I've pretty much decided I'll never be using my Ogris again.
