For a new player, would you recommend the Vandal or Phantom?

Hi,

I've been playing the game for a few weeks now, and whenever it comes to the rounds where we can full buy, I see the majority of people pick the Vandal, whereas I generally prefer the Phantom, or in some cases even the Spectre.

I like the higher fire rate of the Spectre and find the recoil much easier to handle (And I feel crazy powerful if I use it with Reyna's ult, the fire rate is insane!).

As for the Phantom I just find the spray pattern easier to control, but with the Vandal I like the ability to do full damage from any distance, even if the chances of me one tapping is actually VERY low. I generally take multiple shots to kill someone regardless of range, because I'm so used to aiming at someone's chest/neck and letting the recoil do the rest (This is how I've played other shooters).

TL;DR The question at hand, which of the two assault rifles do you use and/or would you recommend for new players to the game?

Cheers!
