Is E.V.A-8 Auto now the best ground loot shotgun in the game?

In the most recent patch the weapon received what seemed to be incredibly impactful (and seemingly over the top) buffs to the weapon when all it needed was a nerf revert and a bit more consistency in the spread.

I assume judging by how heavily it was buffed, it is now the best shotgun in the game? What other weapons do you think are now meta? Scout? 30-30 Repeater? Volt? C.A.R SMG?
