Best anti armor/robot weapon for combat gloves corporeal projection build

I know shock gloves with expose weakness are the default option, but between annoyingly long cooldown of EW, it reduced effectiveness against robots and existence of few heavily armored and shock resistened enemies, i am curious if using something else, potentially even trading away EW to make that option better is worth it. So far my options are:

* Energy Edge Emitter on either spear or knife, maybe even with high technicalities instead of EW? * Sledgehammers? * Versatility with smg and armor piercing ammo?

Also are metal gloves/Power Fist worth considering for those purposes? I know metal gloves are bad in general, but maybe the be decent at that.
