Assault, no question.
While mechs like the Zerker and Scout can be exceptionally powerful in the right hands, the Assault's combination of strengths make it ideal in almost any team setup. Its durable chassis, solid mobility, and extremely versatile weapon loadouts mean it can hold its own in a huge array of combat scenarios while contributing significantly to your team's defensive integrity and offensive momentum.
The problem with aggressive A-class mechs (like the Zerker/Scout) lies in their very small health pools - they cannot tank any significant amount of damage and thus rely on their immense skirmishing power to succeed. They work great in 1v1's and isolated engagements but can struggle in larger fights if they have no beefy allies to push with. If your team already has a lot of squishies, or your team's frontline is collapsing frequently, an aggressive A class can actually be a terrible pick since it will not be able to sustain a defensive line long enough for your team to rally and regroup.
The Assault, however, strikes a good equilibrium between solid tankiness, decent mobility, reliable poke, and high DPS - making it this game's jack-of-all-trades. If you're looking for sheer versatility, then the Assault's your mech.
Good hunting.

.... so I should switch from Berserker to Assault then
You should own both Assault and Berserker and use them depending on your play Style and team composition.
Aside from the HP pools lets not forget about their special abilities. Berserker is a great finishing mech. Follow your team mates in a coordinated push for the AA or use a jump pad to push for the AA and pop your special on the Berserker.
You would be amazed at the number of multi-kills you were will get by doing this.
The Assault is like a bigger slower version of a Berserker and with a different ability of course so it got my vote because it can handle both A and C class mechs.
TBH: You should own all the mechs. It can get boring playing the same mech all the time. Each mech has its special purpose, weapons, abilities, etc. If you find yourself getting bored just switch out to some other mech you have less time in and have fun.
Sure you will suck at using a new mech at first but if you stick with it you will find that each mech can be a fearsome killer if you take the time to learn how and when to use it.
