From what I've seen, the best melee weapons are usually the edged weapons, particularly the Katana and Axe. Of course the Chainsaw is faster, but it requires fuel.
I don't really know about the guns, but it really depends on what you're good with and how the gun works.
If you like a fast fire-rate but don't care for accuracy, you'll like the small SMG type weapons. If you like accuracy at range, you'll avoid shotguns, and if you like balanced weapons you'll find one that suits you.

There is no best weapon, other than the higher tiers being better than the previous.
====== Tier 1 ====== - The Chrome and Pump shotguns are essentially the same thing, with the Chrome having a slightly tighter spread. The Chrome can fire farther, the Pump has a wider area of effect.
- The SMG does slightly more damage than its silenced counterpart, but it alerts Infected quicker.
- The Hunting Rifle has no second counterpart, so no comparison is needed.
====== Tier 2 ====== - The difference between the Combat Shotgun and the Tactical Shotgun is the same as the difference between the Chrome and the Pump. The Combat variety is built with a tighter spread, and the Tactical does wider area damage, (along with a single extra point of damage at extremely close range).
- I'll list rifle pros and cons. Assault Rifle 1.) Highest RoF 2.) Medium Accuracy 3.) Lowest Damage
AK-47 1.) Medium RoF 2.) Lowest Accuracy 3.) Highest Damage
- The Sniper Rifle is again, the only one in it's class, so there's no contest.
Basically, you have to pick what you like, and what your playstyle is. Choose the appropriate weapon for your style, based on their availability.
With melee weapons, the only difference is the type of damage done. Some just kill the target, others decapitate. The only difference is the hit detection. The chainsaw doesn't count because it defies classification, as does the Grenade Launcher.

If you want maximum power and maximum kill numbers; there is nothing to compare to the Grenade Launcher. Take one container of Boomer Bile, throw it where Zombies are concentrated, watch them quickly gather in a tight group (literally fighting each other!), then fire one grenade into the pack - instant huge kill numbers! Also, there is nothing better for taking down a Tank!
The only problem with the Grenade Launcher is the lack of ammunition, long reload times, and the risk of friendly fire. If a teammate at range is surrounded, and incapped, you can't fire at him, and the pistol accuracy is **** when running, so that's gone. It's good to have one teammate with the launcher, but using his pistols as his main weapon.
