On the flip side, AP rounds can drop off a lot over range, whereas HEAT doesnt suffer from that.

My rule of thumb is look at the guns accuracy. If its high, HEAT might serve you well, as you can land hits at a good range. If it isn't so hot, AP might be a safer bet.
Remember to look at FC/RF/Stab too, those are really important, especially if you want to move and shoot.
