To be honest if you don't plan on going past like wave ~30 or so I would actually go with the SVandal on this one.

Equally modded they can both more or less one-shot pretty much anything, and in a scenario like that you want the weapon that has a higher rate of fire, the SV. That isn't to deny the fact the Lanka is the stronger rifle, it's just that the stopping power simply is not needed in that situation.

In fact in most situations outside of high-level defence, the SV is the more versatile weapon with the higher rate of fire, hitscan, and subsequently easier target transitions. Thus, it has more crowd-control / mobbing ability than the Lanka does.

Lots of people will just knee-jerk response and say the Lanka is better but I think alot of people don't actually realize the extra damage is completely unnecessary / overkill half the time.
