Before I start on the odyssey to upgrade weapons. I need to think about what weapons would suit my style of play (I try and avoid using personal weapons) when I am using a Maverick Suit. For those times that I need to eliminate an opponent using personal weapons, I would prefer to pick off my enemies when they are unaware and quickly. I have managed to buy a G3 Manticore Executioner (no mods) and G2 Manticore Tormentor (greater range). This seems a good combination as I would not have to have one weapon for shielded and another for non shielded targets. I am unlikely to unlock more than a couple of engineers. Are there any other good combinations such as a TK eclipse (scope) and Karma P-15 with suppressor (even without mods, just upgraded)?

Honestly, a G5 Tormentor can two shot anything outside of a high CZ, and can one shot anything unaware/unshielded outside of a high cz. I'm a fan of Greater Range on that weapon as well. You can kill well beyond the listed ideal range.
If you want to keep them unaware, go with Noise Suppression for pressurized areas and you can sweep a building James Bond style. Audio Masking isn't commonly available yet, but that will also let you clean up scavengers without alerting all of the other scavengers.

The two you have are the two I'm using - mine each have noise suppressors and as soon as it's possible they'll get Audio Masking for the outdoors.
I take the plasma pistol and either the plasma shotgun or the plasma sniper depending on whether I'm gonna be in a base fixing things or out in the open salvaging things.
Don't sleep on the Intimidator, either. One of the few weapons that can one shot even through shields, since each pellet counts as its own hit. There's a thread about it that was updated today.
I go with the Tormentor as my go-to gun, and the L-6 for my "primary" weapon which is good for one-shotting unaware scavs and two-shotting people standing in doorways.
Lvl5 rocket launcher with quick reload and large mag, lvl5 tormentor silenced. All you need.
Not quite. I was at a military base murdering everyone but the commandos were taking a mighty 3 shots from my lvl5 tormentor, these guys were toughest outside a cz I seen.
here is my main setup and i use it for everything ... raids, takedowns, murders, CZ ect.ect.
the maverick, imo, is the best all around suit!
yes, i have tried a g5 dominator suit with a g5 second primary. i played many CZ testing it.
it just seemed pointless, a waste of time upgrading and searching for materials ... i just couldnt get into it ... ymmv
Maverick G5
~ night vision (pre installed)
~ backpack mod
~ damage resistance
~ X = waiting on quieter footsteps engineer to be released by the devs
Aphelion G5 (quickly take out shields and decent damage to health on certain enemies)
~ audio masking (pre installed)
~ silencer
~ mag size
~ headshot
P15 G5 (great secondary for reducing health / utilize the headshot mod for maximum results)
~ mag size (pre installed)
~ silencer
~ headshot
~ X = waiting on audio masking engineer to be released by the devs

I’m in the very gradual process of grading up an Aphelion for sniping. The plan is Scope, Greater Range, Headshot damage and likely Magazine because it runs out of shots quickly overcoming thermal resistance.
P15s with headshot damage seem like a nice ammo efficient way to clear out buildings.

Have you tried a Goose Gun?
My scavenger Maverick is engineered with backpack, tool use, sprint and resistance. With that I sport the Tormentor and an Intimidator which I plan to engineer with scope and accuracy. I have a second Maverick which I plan to engineer for thievery, which currently has jetpack and sprint mods. Not exactly sure what else is best, probably going with sneak and scan range.
I was using an intimidator and tormentor combo which worked really well. Then I happened upon a G3 TK Zenith with stowed reloading and a G3 AR50. I swapped my plasma's for laser/kinetics and to my surprise never looked back.
When not exploring I use my Maverick setup exclusively.

Primary - Karma AR-50
Secondary - TK Zenith
The faster shield regen really fits my play style of engage, displace then re-engage. everything else on the suits or guns are just QoL improvements or is and frankly overkill.
