According to my model, for larger numbers of soldiers, you don’t need a specific anti-Scarab weapon. It’s slightly more important to make sure you have a good matchup against the Tyrants.
Single answer: “No guts, no glory. (plus we’re losing the war, so my odds aren’t very good to begin with)” − 6 soldiers: AAAALL
I think Artillery treat all aliens equally. Probably some sort of one-shot K.O. Minigun and Flamethrower are anti-Scarab, but Flamethrower is strictly better. Grenades and Lance are general-purpose, but Lance is strictly better. Phasers are a slightly worse general-purpose and bad against Tyrants, but good against Scarabs. Torpedoes are similar to Artillery, but slightly better against Abominations and slightly worse against Tyrants. Rifles are marginally optimal against pure Crawlers, but in a mixed group there are better general-purpose options.

3 soldiers: AAF (47%)
4 soldiers: AAAF (81%)
5 soldiers: AAALL (95.5%)
6 soldiers: AAAALL (98.9%)

If I’m following your notation right, it looks like you mixed up Flamethrowers and Miniguns.
yeah, I adjusted the numbers in the chart, and haven’t updated the rest yet.
